Initiatives for Hydrogen

In our lives today, we rely on fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas for most of our energy resources. However, this causes serious environmental problems such as global warming and always carries the risk of resource depletion. We must secure energy stably. At the same time, we must give consideration to the global environment. A solution to these two issues is "hydrogen energy". We want to provide people all over the world with a new future brought about by hydrogen energy. We have already begun initiatives that bring together the comprehensive strength of the Company.

Hydrogen is a clean energy that can be extracted from various substances and does not emit CO₂ when it is burned. The preparation of the infrastructure for the utilization of hydrogen as energy is about to begin all over the world. Among those preparations, the Company is mainly taking on the development of the "storage and transportation" infrastructure, particularly for the liquefaction, transportation and receiving terminals. The Company is contributing to the construction and expansion of the supply chain for the hydrogen market, which is expected to expand in the future. The Company's technology connects the sites of hydrogen production with the sites of hydrogen consumption with the creation of a new route called the Hydrogen Road.

• Hydrogen transportation volume: 225,000 tons (per year)
• Reduction of CO₂ emissions by using hydrogen energy: 1.6 million tons

Hydrogen Transportation and Storage (= Carry and store hydrogen)
When hydrogen is cooled to the cryogenic temperature of minus 253°C, it changes from a gas to a liquid and its volume is reduced to 1/800th. Reducing the volume dramatically improves the efficiency of storage and transportation, so it enables the distribution of more hydrogen. Among the many methods of hydrogen transportation available, the transportation of liquefied hydrogen is an extremely efficient method and is a technology that has already been put into practical use. That transportation makes use of the achievements of our company in our many years of delivering carriers, storage and receiving terminals for LNG, and cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage tanks.

In order to utilize hydrogen as a next-generation energy source, there are requirements for the technology to transport large amounts of hydrogen efficiently and safely. The Company built the first LNG carrier in Japan in 1981 and has continued to be a leader in cryogenic technology for marine transportation. By combining the shipbuilding technology and cryogenic technology that the Company has cultivated over many years, the Company is working to develop the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier.

As the demand for hydrogen energy increases, there is a need for a means of transporting large amounts of liquefied hydrogen over land to
