Building a Hydrogen Society and Hydrogen Supply Chain

「In November 2025, we held a groundbreaking ceremony with 日本水素エネルギー株式会社 (JSE) for the Kawasaki LH₂ Terminal liquefied hydrogen facility to be built in Ogishima, Kawasaki City. Projects toward realizing a hydrogen society are gathering pace, including the signing of a shipbuilding contract for the world's largest 40,000 m³ liquefied hydrogen carrier and the launch of demonstration operations for the world's first hydrogen-fueled engine for large commercial vessels and centrifugal hydrogen compressors for hydrogen liquefaction plants.」

「In addition to obtaining approval in principle from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai for the basic design of a large 160,000 m³ liquefied hydrogen carrier and the hydrogen-fueled dual-fuel engine for power generation and related systems to be installed on it, we completed the technological development of cargo tanks for large liquefied hydrogen carriers. We are steadily building a track record toward commercialization, including determining the sites for liquefied hydrogen export and receiving terminals and accelerating cooperation with companies on both supply and demand creation.」

「Strongly affected by the global movement toward achieving carbon neutrality, inquiries and requests for cooperation regarding decarbonization solutions, including hydrogen products in which our group has particular strengths, are increasing.」

「As the global movement toward achieving carbon neutrality gathers momentum, inquiries and requests for cooperation regarding decarbonization solutions, including hydrogen products in which our group has particular strengths, are increasing.」

「For the hydrogen business, the group uses hydrogen supply volume and CO2 emissions reductions achieved through its decarbonization solutions as KPIs, targeting annual hydrogen supply of 225,000 tonnes around 2031 and CO2 emissions reductions of 1.6 million tonnes. In 2022, we completed the world's first demonstration test involving the marine transportation and cargo handling of hydrogen produced from overseas brown coal using a liquefied hydrogen carrier. We are steadily building a track record toward commercialization, including obtaining approval in principle from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai for the basic design of a large 160,000 m³ liquefied hydrogen carrier and for the basic design of the hydrogen-fueled dual-fuel engine for power generation and related systems to be installed on the vessel.」

「With a view to achieving the “realization of a hydrogen society” set out in the government’s Fifth Strategic Energy Plan, we are also focusing on initiatives to establish at an early stage a supply chain covering hydrogen production, transportation, storage and utilization, in cooperation with government agencies in Japan and Australia and relevant companies.」

「We are actively promoting technology development in collaboration with our business divisions to establish at an early stage a supply chain covering hydrogen production, transportation and storage through to utilization.」
