6 FAQs about [Japan hydrogen energy storage]
What is Japan's Hydrogen strategy?
“Most notable in Japan’s hydrogen strategy is the focus on international supply networks, where hydrogen would be produced overseas and shipped to Japan,” says Monica Nagashima engagement manager at Japan Energy Transition Initiative (JETI)/InfluenceMap.
Can hydrogen improve energy security in Japan?
“Hydrogen can contribute to diversifying our energy resources, which will enhance our energy security,” explains Toshiyuki Shirai, director of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Strategy Office at Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The Japanese government has pledged to become a carbon-free society by 2050.
How much will Japan spend on a hydrogen supply chain?
JPY370 billion has been specifically earmarked for hydrogen projects (JPY300 billion for hydrogen supply chain projects and JPY70 billion for development of water electrolysis plants). Since Japan will be a net importer of hydrogen, establishing a full-scale international hydrogen supply chain is one of the key targets.
Is hydrogen a good investment for Japan?
As mentioned by Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno Hirokazu at a cabinet meeting on June 6, the Japanese government considers hydrogen to be “an industrial sector that can make a triple achievement of decarbonization, stable energy supply and economic growth in one shot.”
What if Japan enters the hydrogen market?
The world will have 134 GW of installed electrolyzer capacity by 2030.40 If Japanese companies enter this segment of the hydrogen market, which is also an upstream segment of the hydrogen supply chain, either in Japan or overseas, Japan will increase its presence in the energy supply market around the world.
How much will Japan spend on Clean Hydrogen?
Japan plans to spend ¥3 trillion ($19 billion) over the next 15 years to subsidize production of clean hydrogen, according to the Nikkei. Japanese trading house Itochu on Monday said it is conducting a feasibility study of building hydrogen and ammonia supply chain in Kitakyushu, one of the future offshore wind hubs in the country.
