HyDRA contains hydrogen demand, resource, infrastructure, cost, production, and distribution data. View and explore renewable energy resource data.

Where can I find hydrogen fueling station locations?

Visit the Alternative Fuels Data Center to find hydrogen fueling station locations in the United States. The following publications provide more information about NREL's hydrogen fueling infrastructure analysis activities and capabilities.

What is a hydrogen refueling station?

Hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) are key infrastructures rapidly spreading out to support the deployment of fuel cell electric vehicles for several mobility purposes.

Why is hydrogen refueling station technology development important?

These insights provide valuable guidance for stakeholders to enhance hydrogen infrastructure development and accelerate sustainable energy transformation. The global transition toward sustainable energy systems necessitates a comprehensive understanding of hydrogen refueling station (HRS) technology development.

How many hydrogen refueling stations are there in 2021?

Hydrogen refueling stations in 2021 by region [ 52 ]. In 2021, 538 hydrogen refueling stations were in operation around the world. Japan installed the largest number of hydrogen refueling stations, followed by Germany and Korea. However, more stations are needed to support the hydrogen society.

What are the characteristics of a gaseous hydrogen refueling station?

Therefore gaseous hydrogen refueling stations (whether produced on-site or transported) have the following primary characteristics: initial GH 2 storage, compression, high-pressure storage (if applicable), and thermal management (therefore a pre-cooling phase) prior to the hydrogen flowing into the vehicle's tank.

Japan s new energy battery site energy

FAQS about Japan s new energy battery site energy

Why are Japanese companies investing in battery energy storage systems?

Sign up here. That is creating surging interest in battery energy storage systems (BESS) to smooth mismatches in supply and demand. Since December 2023, companies have announced investments of at least $2.6 billion in Japanese battery storage projects, according to calculations by Reuters.

How many battery storage projects will Stonepeak and CHC develop in Japan?

Stonepeak and CHC’s energy storage platform will develop five new battery storage projects in Japan. These projects have a combined capacity of 348 megawatts (MW). The deals were finalized under Japan’s Long-term Decarbonization Auction. These projects were selected as part of Japan’s latest long-term auction focused on low-carbon energy.

How much battery power does Japan have?

As of March, Japan had 0.23 GW of grid-connected BESS, according to METI. By comparison, China has 75 GW and the U.S. has installed nearly 26 GW of battery storage capacity, according to the Energy Institute.

Why is battery storage important in Japan?

Once operational, the battery storage systems will help balance supply and demand on the national power grid. Battery storage is viewed as an important part of Japan’s decarbonization plans. Storage systems like BESS help keep power systems stable, especially when more electricity comes from solar and wind sources.

How much will Japan's energy storage system cost in 2023?

The $593 million worth of commercial energy storage systems recorded in Japan in 2023 could balloon to $4.15 billion by 2030, InfoLink reckons, with “industrial adoption expected to scale faster,” according to the data company.

Why are Japan and Kyushu so attractive for battery projects?

"Tohoku and Kyushu regions have a lot of renewables, which makes these regions very attractive for battery projects, and that's why there is a lot of contracted and considered projects there already," said Uranulzii Batbayar, a Tokyo-based analyst with Rystad Energy.
