Selection Result for the Financing Programme: "Pilot project for comprehensive support throughout the whole hydrogen supply chain abroad" for FY2021 (2nd selection)

MOEJ issued a call for proposals (2nd selection) for the financing programme "Pilot project for comprehensive support throughout the whole hydrogen supply chain abroad" and subsequently announced the adoption of one project .

This project will partly subsidize the demonstration project to produce hydrogen using renewable energy in third party countries, with abundant resources such as solar and wind to generate renewable energy. This green hydrogen will then be transported and utilized in JCM partner countries (such as Pacific Island countries).

Through this project, Japan aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by utilizing advanced decarbonization technologies and will contribute to the establishment of an international green hydrogen network in the Indo-Pacific region.

Overview of Selected Projects:

The Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC), as an implementing organization for the Financing Programme for the JCM, issued a call for proposals (2nd selection) for FY2021 from September 1st to 30th, 2021.
