Hydrogen, which is expected as the next-generation energy, has a higher cost than natural gas, which is an issue for its widespread use.
In our business, we will promote the development of technology for producing and liquefying a large amount of hydrogen overseas using renewable energy.
We are also building a large tanker dedicated to carrying a large amount of liquefied hydrogen and manufacturing tanks for storage, aiming to reduce the cost of procuring hydrogen to less than one-third of what it used to be.
