TOKYO plans to spend $385m on fuel-cell vehicle subsidies and hydrogen stations for the 2020 Olympics as part of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s plan to reduce his country’s reliance on nuclear power.
Japan’s capital will build 35 stations to fuel hydrogen-based fuel-cell vehicles and is in negotiations with Toyota and Honda to put 6,000 hydrogen cars on its roads by 2020, says Makoto Fujimoto, head of the planning team at the metropolitan government’s energy department.
The CTC Network promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
