Business trend:
JX Nippon Oil andEnergy opened a gas station that supplies both gasoline for gasoline vehicles and
hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles for the first time in Japan. This gas
station does not have equipment to charge for hydrogen, and it is used for a substantiative
joint project by the company and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). A special tank truck delivers high pressure
hydrogen to the station. Through the repetition of filling hydrogen to demonstrative
fuel cell vehicles, the project team examines the problems with downsizing the
system.
Hydrogen is easy to
transport and store besides being a highly efficient energy source. Toyota and Honda are scheduled to put fuel
cell vehicles on the market in 2015, and JX Nippon Oil and Energy plans to open
40 gas stations of the same kind by 2015. The company wishes to accumulate practical
accomplishments of safety operation of the dual supply system and establish the
hydrogen supply business at an early date.
