Government research and development organization supporting clean energy technology development

The Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) focuses on hydrogen production as part of the prefecture's hydrogen economy strategy.

A method of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity and an alkaline electrolyte, a key technology for scaling up affordable, domestic green hydrogen production.

Ammonia produced from green hydrogen, which is generated using electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, representing the ultimate goal for clean shipping fuel.

A 10 MW-class renewable energy-powered hydrogen production facility using water electrolysis. The facility integrates 20 MW of solar power generation with grid electricity to produce hydrogen at a capacity of 1,200 Nm³ per hour, with an integrated control system for grid balancing.

A large-scale renewable energy development project involving the construction of 10 wind power stations and 11 solar power plants on unfarmable land in Fukushima Prefecture.
