Toagosei Co., Ltd. announces the commercial opening of Toagosei Hydrogen Station Tokushima, which supplies hydrogen to fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and fuel cell buses (FCB).
Toagosei is focusing on the utilization of hydrogen energy to promote the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) based on its target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 as part of its measures to prevent global warming. As part of these activities, the Company constructed Toagosei Hydrogen Station Tokushima located next to its Tokushima plant, which manufactures hydrogen.
This hydrogen station is Japan’s first integrated manufacturing and supply-type hydrogen station. Costs are kept down because there is no cost to transport hydrogen to the station and carbon dioxide emissions will not be produced in the transportation process, making this facility highly effective in our efforts to reach carbon neutrality.
An opening ceremony was held on April 15 for both the station and the Company’s mobile hydrogen station called the Toagosei H2 Hydrogen Shuttle, marking the official commercial opening.
