InfoSyEnergy Research and Education Consortium

4 th InfoSyEnergy Open Symposium
Future of Hydrogen Energy achieving Carbon Neutrality
Reduction of global warming gases such as CO2 has become a major social issue. In the new society aiming for carbon
neutrality, hydrogen has been attracting attention as a substance that supports the future of humankind from various
viewpoints. Japan has pioneered the "Basic Hydrogen Strategy," but in order for hydrogen to actually spread and support
society in the future, it is said that it is important to overcome the technical challenges that need to be overcome, as well as todesign a system that will ensure energy and economic security and realize a growth strategy. Japan has many world-leading
examples of technology, including robots, semiconductors, batteries, solar panels, and liquid crystals, and it is important for
the international community to widely deploy these technologies, and this also applies to hydrogen.
In the Keynote, Mr. Yasuhiko Hashimoto, Representative Director, President and CEO, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.
progressing business first to focus potential future of hydrogen, will address regarding future society from broad point ofhydrogen and robotics.
In the general lectures, Professor Manabu Ihara (School of Materials and Chemical Technology), consortium Head, will
represent an overview of hydrogen vision made up through information exchange and discussions with member companies.
Professor Takeo Yamaguchi (Institute of Innovative Research), a consortium member, will present the latest research resultson hydrogen production using new materials.
In the panel discussion, Mr. Motohiko Nishimura, Executive Officer, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., who was involved in thedevelopment of the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier, Mr. Toshiyuki Suda, Program Director, Strategic Project Dept.,
Corporate Strategy Headquarters, IHI Corporation, who is developing utilization of ammonia, Mr. Kazuyuki Mori, ChiefResearcher, Solution Engineering Department, Advanced Technology R&D Center, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and otherexperts from Tokyo Tech will be invited, and will discuss future images of hydrogen energy and challenges leading up to it.
