It’s largely counter to what the rest of the world is doing and begs the question of why Japan seems so intent on making hydrogen power work. In 2017, Japan became the first country in the world to release a national hydrogen strategy. Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks.
