JHyM will work under the guidance of the Japanese Central Government’s Ministerial Council on Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Related Issues. The group will support other initiatives, including the Council for a Strategy for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells that aims to open as many as 160 hydrogen stations in fiscal year 2020. These stations can support as many as 40,000 fuel cell vehicles, according to government estimates.
