Japan wants to use the Olympic games to promote hydrogen to the world
Despite a surge in covid-19 cases, Japan is doggedly pushing ahead with its preparations for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic games. In January, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said they should continue as “proof of human victory against the coronavirus”. But there is another reason too: Japan wants to use the events to showcase its efforts to become a “hydrogen society” and to inspire other countries to join it.

The use of hydrogen as a source of energy is increasing rapidly from year to year. As a clean source of energy whose only by-product is water vapour, hydrogen is intended to be the energy source of the future. For this reason, multiple national hydrogen strategies by over 30 countries has led to a rapid increase of investments in hydrogen projects worldwide.
However, we still must change the way hydrogen is produced. As with electricity, if hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels -brown hydrogen-, the pollution will keep being the same big problem we have now. On the other hand, True Clean Energy is a brilliant source of green hydrogen and clean electricity. Concentrated solar power, wind, geothermal and other clean sources of energy can provide green hydrogen so every industry, vehicle, and all the electricity production can be powered in a truly clean way! For this reason, we need to see more projects of this type to stop air pollution and thus make a healthy world for us all to live in.
