Why Hydrogen/ Background Points to be considered; Contribute decarbonization(Environment) Mitigate dependence on specific countries(Energy security)
 Enable to utilize low cost feedstock(Economic affordability)+ Japan’s edge in technology since 1970s

Japan’s Initiatives on Hydrogen and Fuel Cell

1st Ministerial Council on Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Related
Issues (11th April 2017)
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated "Japan will be the first in the world to realize ahydrogen-based society. I request relevant ministers to formulate the basic
strategy within this year.”
In particular, he requested relevant ministers to accelerate the establishment of hydrogen refuelling stations & streamline regulations
 formulate a common scenario toward the building of supply chains and the full-scale
introduction of hydrogen power generation

“Basic Hydrogen Strategy (水素基本戦略)”

 2050 Vision:
Position H2 as a new energy option(following Renewables) Target:

H2 Cost:$3/kg by 2030 ⇒ $2/kg

H2 Volume :300k t/y by 2030 ⇒ 5～10m t/y

Current Direction of NEDO’s Program

1. Fuel Cells:(1) PEFC: for mobility- Target: 0.03-0.1 g-PGM/kW (depend on durability), 50,000 hrs.
life time (commercial vehicle), Power Density:> 4kW/L(2) SOFC: for stationary use- Complete co-generation model (> 50%) by 2017
- New target: >65% efficiency for mono-generation

2. Hydrogen Refueling Station:
Reducing CAPEX / OPEX
- To address regulatory reform on FCV/HRS in Japan
ex. Unmanned operation with remote monitoring, Risk
assessment on HRS, etc.
- Developing low cost equipment (incl. polymer materials, Electrochemicalcompressor, etc.)

Current Direction of NEDO’s Program

3. Hydrogen Supply Chain / Gas Turbine:- Developing combustor for Hydrogen Gas Turbine
Control of combustion for low NOx, back fire, etc.

- Realizing large scale hydrogen supply chain
Hydrogen carriers for long distance transportation

4. Power to Gas:
- Developing System Technology
System Operation, Energy management, Demand response- Improving electrolysis technology
Analyzing reaction mechanism, develop lifetime evaluation, etc.
(Alkaline, PEM, SOEC)
