A region-specific analysis of technology implementation of hydrogen energy in Japan

摘要: Abstract A new energy system using adequate carriers such as hydrogen is needed for filling out the spatial and temporal gaps in supply demand to promote renewable-derived systems. The environmental implementation effects of technologies associated with should be carefully examined because conditions chain depend on region-specific characteristics. In this study, an approach analyzing considering regional characteristics balance simulation model proposed. As a case potential mitigation life-cycle greenhouse gas emission by substituting fuel cell vehicles stationary cogeneration systems households conventional was visualized two kinds regions different classification policies; i.e., prefectures urban employment areas Japan. study indicated that annual travel distance per car, number cars, power heat strongly affect effects. Our proposed can effectively match regions, which useful decision-makers.
