Japan s hydrogen energy storage peak-shaving power plant is in operation

Is Japan ready for a hydrogen society?

In Japan, the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field was completed in March 2020. With the start-up of the world’s largest hydrogen production facility, a giant leap towards the realization of a hydrogen society has been made. Hydrogen, unlike petroleum or coal, produces no carbon dioxide when used.

Does Japan need a hydrogen supply chain?

It plans to establish a full-scale international hydrogen supply chain to cut the cost of hydrogen by 2030 and to encourage the use of ammonia in thermal power generation as a low-carbon transition fuel. In this briefing, we look at Japan's hydrogen strategy and the policy and regulatory initiatives underpinning the development of the sector.

What is Japan doing in the hydrogen sector?

ng international competition in the hydrogen sector.Japan's efforts are focused on R&D and demonstrations that cont ibute to the construction of a hydrogen supply chain. In recent years, policy support and demonstrations aimed at securing suitab overseas supply sites and domestic receiving bases.

What is the future of hydrogen power generation?

Expectations are building all over the world for hydrogen power generation. In the United States, the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Utah, using hydrogen sourced from renewable energy, will utilize Mitsubishi Power’s M501JAC gas turbine.

Will Japan's hydrogen gas turbine technology lead to hydrogen-fueled power generation?

This article explores the future of hydrogen-fueled power generation led by Japan’s hydrogen gas turbine technology. Mitsubishi Power has an extensive track record of delivering M501 J/JAC series gas turbines overseas. Using hydrogen combustion technology, existing gas turbines can be modified to economically support hydrogen power generation. MHI

Is Japan leading the future of hydrogen power generation?

With hydrogen one of the keys to achieving decarbonization, Japan’s tech is leading the future of hydrogen power generation.
