The economics of hydrogen in Japan: Comparing upstream and end-use business cases for hydrogen or ammonia

Aurora’s 2024 research agenda continues with a deep dive into the topic of hydrogen/ammonia economics in Japan with a focus on the following areas: 

Exploring the current policy landscape and reviewing the subsidies available for different parts of the supply chain
Unpacking sectoral energy demand to determine where the long-term opportunities for hydrogen/ammonia are in Japan
Comparing the cost of different supply options: how electrolyzers versus steam reformation and other types of hydrogen production differ, along with where the latest project developments in these areas have been announced
Analyzing the complexities and costs of transporting hydrogen/ammonia—both domestically and from major exporters like Australia, the U.S., the Middle East, India, etc.
A number of case studies:

Upstream business models—evaluating the levelized cost of hydrogen/ammonia (LCOH) across different configurations and colors of hydrogen/ammonia
Downstream business models—focusing on the power sector, a formulation of power turbine economics (new and retrofitted) and how subsidy bids will be determined (particularly into the Government’s Long-Term Decarbonization Auction—LTDA)

We kindly ask you to register by 4 July for this session. Please note, we limit participation to 2 attendees per organization on a first-come first-serve basis, but we would let you know if more seats become available closer to the date.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with  Mika Oikawa.

Best wishes,

The Aurora Team
