Japan's Liquefied Hydrogen Project in Tokyo Bay for Carbon Neutrality
Key Ideas
  • JFE Holdings, JFE Steel, and Japan Suiso Energy are partnering for a liquefied hydrogen project in Tokyo Bay, aiming to create a commercial-scale global supply chain.
  • The project involves building demonstration facilities for hydrogen production on Ohgishima island, strategically located in Japan's Keihin Industrial Zone.
  • Construction is set to complete by 2030-31, with plans to start supplying hydrogen to Japan, aligning with the country's carbon neutrality goals.
  • This initiative, post JFE Steel's operational changes, includes repurposing the island in collaboration with the city of Kawasaki for broader economic and environmental benefits.
Japan's JFE Holdings, JFE Steel, and Japan Suiso Energy have signed an agreement to lease land on Ohgishima island in Tokyo Bay for a liquefied hydrogen project. JFE Steel's planned removal of buildings will pave the way for JSE to construct demonstration facilities for hydrogen production. The project aims to achieve a liquefied hydrogen carrier license by 2029-30 and commence hydrogen supply to Japan by 2030-31, contributing to global hydrogen supply chain creation. Ohgishima's selection is strategic, being in the Keihin Industrial Zone, a significant industrial area in Japan. The project aligns with Japan's carbon neutrality targets. Furthermore, the collaboration between JFE and Kawasaki city involves island repurposing, infrastructure development, and enhancing hydrogen transportation facilities, fostering economic and environmental advancements.
