Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike plans to build a hydrogen supply network of pipelines to receive ‘green hydrogen’ in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Koike considers green hydrogen as a pillar to achieve decarbonization once the system is up and running in Japan's capital.
Green hydrogen is derived from renewable energy sources and has minimal impact on the environment, unlike fossil fuels.
Pipelines to be constructed would connect Kawasaki Port in Kanagawa Prefecture to Tokyo’s waterfront area to supply the capital’s residents with hydrogen transported to the port from overseas.
City officials are now allocating the budget for the plan in its fiscal 2023 budget as an initial step in the undertaking.
