Joint Development Agreement for Green Hydrogen in Chitose Area of Hokkaido
Key Ideas
  • Mitsubishi Corporation, Takasago Thermal Engineering Co., Hokkaido Electric Power Company, and Air Water Hokkaido Inc. have signed a joint development agreement to discuss the provision of green hydrogen in Hokkaido's Chitose area.
  • The initiative aligns with Japan's updated Basic Hydrogen Strategy emphasizing the importance of establishing a domestic supply chain for hydrogen to achieve carbon neutrality.
  • Chitose City's 'Zero Carbon City Chitose' agenda aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, with plans for local production and consumption of green hydrogen, especially driven by the upcoming semiconductor plant in the area.
  • The feasibility study for green hydrogen supply in Chitose City was approved for a subsidy by Japan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, aiming to establish a hydrogen cluster by 2030 and create a green hydrogen supply chain in the wider Chitose area.
Mitsubishi Corporation, Takasago Thermal Engineering Co., Ltd., Hokkaido Electric Power Company, and Air Water Hokkaido Inc. have entered into a joint development agreement to explore the provision of green hydrogen in Hokkaido's Chitose area. The partners aim to contribute to carbon neutrality by utilizing hydrogen, which does not emit CO2 when burned. The Japanese government's Basic Hydrogen Strategy highlights the importance of a domestic hydrogen supply chain. Chitose City, known for New Chitose Airport and upcoming semiconductor plant, plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through local production and consumption of green hydrogen. The feasibility study for green hydrogen supply in Chitose City was approved for a subsidy, supporting the partners' goal of establishing a hydrogen cluster by 2030 and creating a green hydrogen supply chain in the broader Chitose region. The initiative reflects a positive collaboration between industry players and government entities to drive sustainable energy solutions and promote environmental goals.
