Free of charge※On-site & Online Hybrid“How low can hydrogen prices go?”Efforts to realize a hydrogen society are being strengthened both domesticallyand internationally. As countries and regions set hydrogen introduction targets
and support technological development, Japan has also been working on projects
such as establishing a large-scale hydrogen supply chain through the Green
Innovation Fund since fiscal year 2021 and producing hydrogen through waterelectrolysis using electricity derived from renewable energy sources.
The Basic Hydrogen Strategy, revised in June 2023, set the introduction targetfor 2040 at 12 million tons and outlined a hydrogen industry strategy aiming toutilize core hydrogen technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolysis, power
generation, transportation, and parts and materials. In addition, at a government
expert meeting in May this year, discussions began toward formulating the 7thStrategic Energy Plan, with the focus on increasing the proportion of decarbonized
power sources toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, in a mannerconsistent with the GX Implementation Council.
The workshop will focus on the theme of "How low can hydrogen prices go?",which is the key to the widespread use of hydrogen, and will be based on
quantitative analysis using a world simulation model and knowledge gained from
specific corporate initiatives. Through lectures and panel discussions, we will
discuss the prices of imported and domestic hydrogen, as well as theirprerequisites, and current and future challenges in technological development.

Available for English interpretation online only.
