      The hydrogen station opened by Tokyo Gas in Toyosu

      The construction cost was not disclosed, but it is estimated to be several percent higher than the usual cost of about 600 million yen. The station will produce hydrogen using city gas from a medium-pressure pipeline. Carbon dioxide (CO2) generated in the process of mining and burning liquefied natural gas (LNG) is offset. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to have more than 100 fuel cell buses in use by the end of this year, and the Toyosu Hydrogen Station will be responsible for supplying hydrogen to the city's fuel cell buses. Takashi Anamizu, vice president of Tokyo Gas, said on the same day that he expects the station's operation rate to increase significantly. The average daily use of other hydrogen stations is about five fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). January 16, 2020, Toyosu, Koto-ku, Tokyo; Credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
