For the 2016 Undertaking to Develop the Technology for Building the Hydrogen Society and Development of Hydrogen Energy Project announced by NEDO this summer, Iwatani Sangyo, Toshiba, and Tohoku Electric proposed “The Construction of a Hydrogen System Business Model Using Renewable Energy and the Development of Technology Related to Large Scale Trials. This proposal was selected on September 29. Toshiba will be in charge. By September of next year with Fukushima as the area for the trials, the creation of a hydrogen energy system originating in renewable energy as well as a survey of the specifications and business potential will be undertaken. In the system, the renewable energy of the electric power for the hydrogen generation facility is set to be supplied up to 10,000kW as the base figure. The hydrogen production capacity is looked upon as being up to 2,000m3 an hour according to a Gas Review estimate. The hydrogen produced will be used mainly for power source for adjusting power-generating capacity. Since output from renewable energy sources is intermittent and fluctuates widely with the weather, the grid requires another compensatory power source. In addition, supply of liquid hydrogen is also in view.
