Substantial reduction of greenhouse gas is requested to deal with the global warming issue. As an innovative technique to achieve it, a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) and production, storage and supply technologies of hydrogen, which is fuel of FCV, are the important position in the national policy.
FCV, which is one of the next generation cars and considered as an ultimate clean energy vehicle, has been developed actively for practical use. Also, demonstration studies of hydrogen refueling stations have been executed including the metropolitan area.
In this report, it introduces the outline of the JHFC project (Japan Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Demonstration Project), which has been promoted aiming at spread start of FCV and hydrogen refueling stations to the average user in 2015.
