Strategies toward Hydrogen Society
 Speech by Prime Minister Abe at COP21
“The key to acting against climate change without
sacrificing economic growth is the development
of innovative technologies. To illustrate, there
are technologies to produce, store and transport
hydrogen towards realizing CO2–free societies,”
 Strategic Energy Plan April, 2014
Realization of hydrogen society is one of key strategies of Energy Plan.
As for future secondary energy, hydrogen is expected to play
the central role, as well as electricity and heat.
The Strategic Roadmap for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell
(formulated in June 2014, revised in March, 2016)
 Council for Science, Technology and Innovation(CSTI)
Hydrogen is one of key areas of CSTI strategies.
