Kawasaki Heavy Industries has started building a steam methane reforming hydrogen plant in Kawasaki City, Japan, to produce 18 tonnes per day of high-purity hydrogen by spring 2029, supplying Japan's first high-pressure hydrogen pipeline connected to the Kawasaki LH₂ Terminal.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Japan’s first high-pressure hydrogen pipeline now has a dedicated supply source in Kawasaki. If you build hydrogen supply chains or downstream uses, this opens a rare domestic market beyond pilot projects for you to enter.
