Information about the JH2A Association, excerpt:
Purpose of JH2A
Creating a hydrogen-rich earth ~ Bringing the world ever-changing and nature-friendly hydrogen energy ~
Hydrogen has the simplest structure with atomic number 1.
Hydrogen was the first atom created in the universe and the universe, Earth and living organisms are all filled with hydrogen.
Clean energy can be extracted from a variety of materials and does not emit CO2 when burned.
It can change shape according to imagination and can be used as electricity, heat or raw materials.
At JH2A, we provide the transformative and nature-friendly energy of hydrogen to the world, creating a good future for both people and nature.
We will rapidly build a hydrogen society through the realization of social deployment projects.
In Japan, the public and private sectors have been involved in hydrogen demonstration, development and research experiments for a long time, but the infrastructure for social deployment is lacking, and supply costs are high. compared to existing fuels and the market is still young.
At this Association, we want to continue discussions with various stakeholders on the main directions of future strategies aimed at realizing a hydrogen society.
In the early stages, it will not be possible to continue the efforts of private enterprises alone; Support from central and local governments is essential. We pledge that people, central and local governments and industry will work together to create a society that gives children hope for the future.
