In order to broadly and smoothly disseminate hydrogen and fuel cells to the general public, it is essential to develop "soft infrastructure" as well as new technology. The review and establishment of laws, Codes & Standards (C&S), and regulations is particularly important for promoting the widespread use of fuel cell vehicles and stationary fuel cell systems and for developing necessary infrastructure. These efforts must be undertaken with an eye to global markets and in close cooperation with industry.
This project aims to develop methods to examine and evaluate the new technologies and products that are necessary to obtain data to establish domestic and international technology standards. Through this effort, NEDO is promoting the construction of soft infrastructure for building a hydrogen economy society.
