The Council has formulated a future vision for the Kobe/Kansai area, and estimated the potential hydrogen demand, supply volume and price based on this vision. The Council subsequently quantified the hydrogen supply chain around the year 2030, identified potential issues, and formulated an action plan for realizing their vision.

Kawasaki is working on hydrogen-related development projects in all phases including production (hydrogen liquefaction equipment), storage (liquefied hydrogen storage tanks), transportation (liquefied hydrogen carriers) and utilization (hydrogen-powered gas turbine power generation facilities), with the goal of realizing a hydrogen society. We contribute to the spread of hydrogen energy and the achievement of decarbonization, thus working as one for the good of the planet.
