Hydrogen power generation: Promoted by the new German government: RWE, Hamburg Corporation
-Business opportunities for Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries-
German Government:
We will proceed with efforts toward “improvement of power generation facilities that use hydrogen as fuel”.
“Japanese companies such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries” are focusing on research and development of hydrogen power generation.
Expectations are likely to rise for business opportunities in Germany.

German power giant RWE
Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan
Generates 30 MW with hydrogen fuel alone,
Demonstration tests will begin in Lower Saxony, northern Germany, after 2012.

The feature is that it can be used as fuel even if it is 100% hydrogen or mixed with natural gas.
“In the United States and the Middle East, interest in hydrogen power generation is increasing, and business expansion is expected.”
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan:
Participated in “Research project to produce hydrogen using wind power and sunlight” in Hamburg, northern Germany.
We are aiming to start hydrogen production around 2025.
Germany’s new government:
The former Merkel administration
The goal was to cover 65% of domestic electricity with renewable energy until 30 years.
The new government
Raise this to 80%,
The “time to completely abolish coal-fired power generation” has been moved forward from the conventional 38 years to 30 years.
There is an urgent need to “actively utilize hydrogen, not just promoting wind and solar power generation.”
