ydrogen, largely expected to be the next-generation energy source, holds its greatest promise in generating electricity and heat without emitting carbon dioxide while being abundantly available in water and diverse sources, including fossil energy.
Japan, where energy resources are limited, has led globally by formulating the Basic Hydrogen Strategy in 2017 and advancing the development of hydrogen-related technologies.
According to a report released by the European Patent Office and the International Energy Agency, Japan accounted for 24% of hydrogen-related patent applications worldwide from 2011 to 2020, ranking top. The report stresses Japan’s position as an innovator in hydrogen with a technological advantage as it develops and applies new technologies ahead of the curve.
