In 2050: 20 yen/Nm3

Assumptions regarding estimates of CO2 reduction effect and economic effect

  • 1 million tons of hydrogen will be supplied by the international hydrogen supply chain in 2030, and 55 million tons of hydrogen will be traded worldwide in 2050.
  • Hydrogen provided through international hydrogen supply chains is expected to be used for hydrogen power generation.
  • Hydrogen is expected to replace imported natural gas, which emits less CO2 than other fossil fuels such as oil and coal, with equivalent heat values.
  • Economic impacts have been calculated on the basis of average hydrogen supply costs: 30 yen/Nm³ in 2030 and 100 yen/kg in 2050.
