FH2R (A model of hydrogen-based society in Fukushima using Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field )
Country
Japan
FH2R can produce as much as 1,200 Nm3 of hydrogen per hour (rated power operation) using renewable energy. Renewable energy output is subject to large fluctuations, so FH2R will adjust to supply and demand in the power grid in order to maximize utilization of this energy while establishing low-cost, Green hydrogen production technology.
