Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R)

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

Photovoltaic generation integrated into Kaiser Permanente's microgrid as part of the hybrid renewable energy system.

The Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) focuses on hydrogen production as part of the prefecture's hydrogen economy strategy.

A 10 MW-class renewable energy-powered hydrogen production facility using water electrolysis. The facility integrates 20 MW of solar power generation with grid electricity to produce hydrogen at a capacity of 1,200 Nm³ per hour, with an integrated control system for grid balancing.

A large-scale renewable energy development project involving the construction of 10 wind power stations and 11 solar power plants on unfarmable land in Fukushima Prefecture.

Deployment of a 3.5 kW hydrogen fuel cell system (H2Rex) at the Michinoeki-Namie site to provide power and heat, utilizing hydrogen from the nearby Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field.

Vehicles powered by batteries, generally less expensive and with more infrastructure support than fuel cell vehicles, but with limitations in mileage and charging time.

A 10 MW-class hydrogen production facility that produces hydrogen via water electrolysis using renewable solar power and grid electricity. The hydrogen is supplied for stationary fuel cell systems, fuel cell vehicles, buses, and other mobility applications.

A fuel cell system based on a solid polymer fuel cell stack that eliminates the need for an external humidifier and can rapidly change power output.
