To establish a foundation for turning Uzbekistan into a hydrogen society, the project will develop a blue hydrogen production technology that produces nothing but hydrogen through the underground conversion of oil remaining in the country’s old oil fields into hydrogen while sequestering byproduct CO2 underground, a high-efficiency green hydrogen production technology that combines perovskite solar cells and steam electrolysis, and a new green hydrogen producing photocatalyst using metal slag.
By establishing multiple hydrogen production technologies that maximize the use of resources easily procured in Uzbekistan, we will contribute to the building of a sustainable hydrogen society based on a stable hydrogen supply system. These technologies are expected to be deployed globally from Central Asian countries with similar regional characteristics as high quality technologies originating in Japan.
