Iwatani (ISIN JP3151600008) approved a JPY 50.0 billion hydrogen project with Cosmo Energy on October 6, 2026, while Iwatani stock showed a 2.35 percent dividend yield. The investment adds a new liquefied hydrogen facility to the company's domestic production network.

Three milestones carry the hydrogen story

IBTimes JP reported that Iwatani and Cosmo made the final investment decision on October 6, 2026, committing JPY 50.0 billion to production and liquefaction facilities at Cosmo Oil's Chiba refinery. The companies target operations in 2030.

On August 6, 2026, Iwatani's first-quarter fiscal 2027 results showed revenue of JPY 233.36 billion and net income of JPY 31.72 billion, according to Investing.com. Revenue declined from JPY 267.39 billion in the previous quarter, while net income rose from JPY 20.89 billion, creating a mixed operating comparison.

What does the project add?

The project combines an 80-tonnes-per-day hydrogen production unit with an 11.6-tonnes-per-day liquefaction plant, according to Hydrocarbon Engineering. For Iwatani, the facility would become its fourth domestic liquid hydrogen production base and support deliveries to customers by tanker truck.

The investment also links hydrogen production more closely with refinery demand. Cosmo will use hydrogen in refining and supply part of the output to Iwatani, while the new liquefaction plant is intended to serve domestic customers.
