Development of hydrogen stations

Land acquisition support Consistent support, from the introduction of candidate sites to negotiations with land owners
Financial support

Support by means of prefectural subsidies in addition to national subsidies〜Realizing a hydrogen energy society Towards〜
Fukuoka Strategy Conference for Hydrogen Energy was foundedin August 2004 as a pioneering all-Japan organization of its kindin the country run under industry-academia-government collaboration.
Fukuoka’s collective strength is being harnessedto propel a project for realization of a hydrogen energy society.
