Situation of the Hydrogen Infrastructure-related Technology Development

Abstract

Fuel cell and hydrogen technology is a key technology which is highly expected to be commercialized in order to construct the society to utilize the next-generation type energy. In an attempt to promote future spread of hydrogen energy, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) is conducting development programs on system and element technologies to accomplish the low-cost and high-durability hydrogen stations, looking towards the establishment of a market for hydrogen supply infrastructure projected for 2015. In this paper, the situation of NEDO projects related to hydrogen infrastructure technology development is reported.
