Hydrogen Supply and Utilization Promotion Project

Yokohama Decarbonization Innovation Council 1st Conference

Focusing on the coastal area of Yokohama, which plays a central role in the city's regional economy, we will establish a base for the import, manufacture, and supply next-generation energy such as hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic methane, and synthetic fuels, which contribute to decarbonization.
We aim to form a large-scale base for supply and demand for next-generation energy such as hydrogen.

Creation of Decarbonization Innovation

Utilizing the potential centered on the coastal area, in collaboration with various entities such as location companies to introduce images and examples of initiatives to create decarbonization innovation, examples of initiatives, and to promote further innovation, we have created a brochure on "Creation of Decarbonization Innovation in the Yokohama Coastal Area".

ENEOS Collaboration Agreement

Yokohama City aims to decarbonize coastal areas, including the formation of carbon neutral ports, through the conclusion of a partnership agreement with ENEOS Co., Ltd. to build a hydrogen supply chain. Both sides will work together to consider the development of hydrogen supply infrastructure, including pipelines, and take on the challenge of realizing a hydrogen society ahead of the rest of the country.

The 1st Minatomirai Hydrogen Project

In the Minato Mirai 21 District, which has been selected as one of the country's leading decarbonization areas, we are working together to decarbonize the energy consumed.
In the central district of the Minato Mirai 21 district, Japan's largest regional heat supply based on the Heat Supply Business Law is being developed, and the heat supply of cold water and steam used for air conditioning.
The Yokohama coastal area is working to establish and expand utilization of next-generation energy such as hydrogen in the Minato Mirai 21 district in the coastal area of the city center, we will focus on hydrogen as a next-generation energy alternative to gas, which is used as a fuel for heat production toward "decarbonization of heat".

Tokyo Gas Partnership Agreement

Yokohama City and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. have concluded a partnership agreement and methanation at Tokyo Gas Yokohama Techno Station in Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Tsurumi-ku. ※We are conducting a demonstration test.
We supply biomass-derived resources (CO2, etc.) from the adjacent Motoichi sewerage center and garbage incineration plant, and support technology development that contributes to decarbonization.
※Methanation: This technology generates methane (CH4), which is the main component of city gas, through the reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2).

Kawasaki City Cooperation Agreement

Yokohama City and Kawasaki City have established an effective means of next-generation energy such as hydrogen, which is an effective means of maintaining and strengthening industrial competitiveness while realizing carbon neutrality in the coastal area, which plays a central role in the regional economy. , The two cities have concluded an agreement with the aim of expanding utilization in cooperation and cooperation.

Supply Chain Image

The port is a logistics base that handles 99.6% of Japan's imports and exports, and is an industrial base where various companies are located. Yokohama Port, which has Yokohama Port, one of Japan's leading ports, aims to achieve carbon neutrality in ports by 2050 by forming a carbon-neutral port (CNP), which reduces greenhouse gas emissions as a whole, through the advancement of port functions in consideration of decarbonization, such as the import, storage and utilization of next-generation energy such as hydrogen and ammonia.

Self-reliant hydrogen fuel cell system

In Yokohama City, commercial fuel cells have been introduced at the city hall to supply electricity to the city hall, and a self-sustained hydrogen fuel cell system has been installed at the Yokohama Port Distribution Center to cut power peak power and use emergency power supplies. We are conducting demonstration experiments.
