Kobe University in Japan has been making groundbreaking strides in hydrogen and renewable energy research, with a strong focus on building a sustainable future. The university established the Research Center for Hydrogen Energy Technology (HyTec) in 2023 to drive advancements in hydrogen as an eco-friendly energy source. Led by Professor TAKEDA Minoru, the center's work dates back to 2004, with pivotal developments like a superconducting level gauge for liquid hydrogen, essential for future hydrogen management. Kobe University's research extends beyond hydrogen to include offshore wind power, with projects like the NeoWins wind map and the Mutsu Ogawara Test Site for Offshore Wind Measurement. Notably, the university emphasizes collaboration with industry to accelerate technological progress, with plans to implement a 'Fukae Campus Open Laboratory' and a carbon-neutral campus model. Despite technological advancements like fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), societal adoption lags due to infrastructural gaps, such as the scarcity of hydrogen stations. The Research Center for Hydrogen Energy Technology comprises divisions dedicated to Renewable Energy Technology, Hydrogen Energy Technology, and Multi-Energy Technology, with plans for future expansions into social system evaluation technology research and international standardization promotion. Kobe University's interdisciplinary approach and proactive industry partnerships position it at the forefront of ushering in a hydrogen-powered and sustainable future.
