About HySE
Not just a single form of energy, but multiple paths are the key to the realizing a carbon
neutral society.
Among this, hydrogen is being focused on as a next generation
energy.
Hydrogen can be produced from various kinds of energy sources, and when utilized as
energy it emits no carbon dioxide.
Furthermore, Japan’s energy is affected by international affairs, since it relies primarily on
the import of fossil fuels from various overseas locations.
Thus, if hydrogen can be produced
from untapped overseas energy and abundant recyclable energies and then consumed as an
alternative energy,
it would be possible to increase both energy and procurement location
options.
Moreover, it could be very beneficial to the environment and the economy,
since an extremely
wide range of industries and participants could take part in a hydrogen supply chain and be
end-users.
When giving consideration to such a future hydrogen-based society in which hydrogen energy is
utilized for small engine mobility,
issues such as these exist:
The establishment and securement of reliable design technology specific to the characteristics of combusting hydrogen for engines
The construction of and taxation proposal for a hydrogen supply system for small engines
To solve these issues,
HySE will use the knowledge already accumulated for the development of gasoline engines by
member corporations
as a base to work together and aim for the establishment and commercialization
of design guidelines for small-sized mobility that employs hydrogen engines.
