A joint, government-supported study of the world’s largest hydrogen (H2) energy system by Iwatani Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. has commenced.
Over the course of the next 12 months, the partners will investigate the configuration and specifications of a H2 energy system which will encompass the world’s largest H2 production system. The system will produce a maximum capacity equivalent to 10,000kW, largely relying on solar photovoltaic and wind power once in operation.
If the project is found to be feasible, the system will be deployed in Fukushima prefecture in Tohoku in the northeast region of Japan where it will convert renewable electricity into a large volume of H2 for long-term storage.
