Hokkaido

Solar energy system announced by Softbank earlier in 2012 with 111 MW capacity, located in Hokkaido.

A new model project launched by the Japanese government to highlight the country's hydrogen fuel infrastructure by using surplus renewable energy to produce hydrogen fuel.

A facility that ferments manure to produce methane, which is refined and converted into hydrogen, also generating surplus heat for local applications.

Policy mechanism launched by the Japanese government in July 2012 to incentivize solar energy adoption by guaranteeing favorable rates for solar-generated electricity fed into the grid.

A process that thermally cracks methane into hydrogen and synthetic graphite without emitting CO2. It operates at over 1200°C and is presented as a third route to hydrogen production, distinct from steam methane reforming and electrolysis.

Solar panels converting sunlight into electricity for the airport facility.

A pilot plant converting methane gas from manure into hydrogen fuel, operational since early 2023.

Vehicles powered by fuel cell systems that consume hydrogen to produce electricity. These vehicles operate using electricity generated by the fuel cell system and produce only water vapor and oxygen as byproducts, making them environmentally friendly.

High-quality, solid carbon produced as a byproduct of hydrogen generation, usable in materials like electric car batteries.

Industrial hydrogen gas produced by Linde for use in fuel stations and hydrogen-powered vehicles.
