- Characteristics of hydrogen energy
Hydrogen Business Basic Policy
①Prepare CO2 free hydrogen and cultivate and create original biomass hydrogen market
②Aiming at the building of a “ local production for local consumption type hydrogen supply chain” mainly in rural areas away from large cities and establish an energy infrastructure that does not require transmission lines
③Package from upstream (biomass raw material supply) to downstream (hydrogen utilization), create a local community in which biomass, hydrogen, economy circulate
④Holding the Tokyo Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games and the second generation model of FCV will be introduced into the market will be the BLUE project popularization period after 2020
⑤Brandied "BLUE Hydrogen" as the world's first biomass hydrogen ⇒ Add new energy categories to the global energy market
Blue tower core technology
※Blue tower is a biomass hydrogen production facility.

【Blue Tower Ⅱ No. 3 Demonstration Plant】
(Shibukawa Technology Development Center)
・ A complete carbon neutral (fossil resource unnecessary) energy production system
・ A relatively small distributed energy source based on various biomass resources
・ Since it is a simple device configuration with low operating pressure, No advanced technology required for driving
・ Useful reformed gas composition by gasification under steam atmosphere
