The article highlights Japan's progress in hydrogen innovation, specifically focusing on Kawasaki Heavy Industries' groundbreaking work in liquefied hydrogen transportation. Suiso Frontier, a hydrogen carrier, successfully transported liquefied hydrogen from Australia to Kobe, Japan, displaying advanced technology. The Hi-Touch hydrogen base in Kobe Port features state-of-the-art infrastructure for storing, extracting, and moving hydrogen, positioning Japan at the forefront of hydrogen transportation globally. Kawasaki Heavy Industries plans to expand its storage tank capacity and ship capacity significantly in the coming years, emphasizing the country's commitment to hydrogen development. Japan's government is actively supporting the hydrogen sector through legislation and investment. The Hydrogen Society Promotion Act aims to induce significant investments over the next 15 years to enhance the hydrogen economy, reduce prices, and support demonstration projects. In contrast, South Korea, while an early leader in hydrogen vehicle production, is facing delays in infrastructure development. The article discusses South Korea's efforts to catch up, notably through proposed legislation to streamline hydrogen transportation and storage processes and promote hydrogen trading through a designated exchange. The comparison highlights the importance of robust infrastructure for the future of the hydrogen market.
