Honda and Nippon Steel Trading Collaborate for Green Hydrogen Project in Thailand
Key Ideas
- Honda and Nippon Steel Trading are collaborating on a research project to establish a hydrogen utilization model in Thailand with a focus on local production for local consumption.
- The project aims to explore the production of green hydrogen through solar power generation at Rojana Industrial Park and its utilization for stationary fuel cell power stations and FC-powered trucks.
- The initiative aligns with Thailand's energy policies for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and has secured a FY2023 subsidy from the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for the Global South Future-Oriented Co-creation Project.
- Honda, a pioneer in hydrogen technologies, is actively expanding its hydrogen business by focusing on fuel cell vehicles, commercial vehicles, stationary power stations, and construction machinery, aiming to contribute to a carbon-neutral society.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Nippon Steel Trading Corporation have announced a joint research project to establish a hydrogen utilization model in Thailand, focusing on local production for local consumption. The project involves producing green hydrogen through solar power generation at Rojana Industrial Park and utilizing it for various applications within the park. This initiative aligns with Thailand's energy policies for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The collaboration aims to explore the feasibility and viability of the project, aiming for widespread use of green hydrogen. The research includes technical verification, business feasibility, market research, and analysis of greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Honda, with over 30 years of experience in hydrogen technologies, is committed to expanding its hydrogen business. The company has identified four core domains for the utilization of its fuel cell system: fuel cell vehicles, commercial vehicles, stationary power stations, and construction machinery. By actively collaborating with other companies in the hydrogen value chain, Honda aims to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as an energy carrier for a carbon-neutral society.
