The import of hydrogen to Japan is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 137.91 kilograms in 2024 and reaching 158.16 kilograms by 2028. This demonstrates a year-on-year increase of about 3.78% on average, showcasing a consistent upward trend. In 2023, imports stood lower as these figures represent a forecasted scenario indicating Japan's strategic shift towards hydrogen energy.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in hydrogen production and storage could impact import needs.
- Government policies aimed at carbon neutrality may accelerate hydrogen infrastructure development.
- Market dynamics such as global hydrogen prices and supply chain influences should be observed.
