Green Hydrogen Index: Market focus on Japan

In inspiratia's latest Green Hydrogen Index (GHI) report, we take a look at one of the world's most developed consumer hydrogen markets, Japan. 

As an early adopter of hydrogen technology, Japan has made massive strides in the development of new hydrogen technology after decades of government funded research.

With a decarbonising industrial sector, limited hydrocarbon resources, and some of the world's most recognisable hydrogen technology brands, Japan is uniquely placed to make green hydrogen a core part of its plans for the energy transition.

But can Japan realise its ambition to become the world's first 'Hydrogen Society'? 

The inspiratia GHI is an analysis tool developed by inspiratia to assess
how green hydrogen markets develop around the world based on consistent criteria.

GHI uses a series of qualitative and quantitative measures to assess the status and outlook of the green hydrogen market in different jurisdictions, combining market activity with considerations such as policy and regulation, macroeconomic indicators, and geographic fundamentals. The index provides insight on how active a country is and will be, both as a producer and a consumer of green hydrogen.

See where Japan places in the GHI and how it compares to the other key hydrogen markets around the world.
