Hydrogen energy

The realization of a carbon-neutral society, SETC2022 theme, has become long term issue for not onlyfor industry but also humankind. Nevertheless, humankind continues to develop newly energy source,
because to make better life quality and freedom of movement. As such, possibility of several newly
energy sources is actively discussing all over the world.
SETC2022 provides opportunity to know hydrogen energy which is one of the new energy options, andplace to discuss about issues facing the small powertrain. Session contents summarize the hydrogentechnology how to make, transport, storage, and utilize. And, hydrogen is possible not only direct
utilization but also indirect utilization in the way of power storage medium and refining e-fuel.
Therefore, I would like to discuss how the utilization of hydrogen energy may contribute to the small
power train area toward the realization of a carbon-neutral society.
