  1. Yokohama’s “Hydrogen Society” Initiatives October 19, 2015 Norihiko Nomura, Executive Director Climate Change Policy Headquarters, City of Yokohama

  2. Overview of Yokohama • An international port city • -Port opened in 1859 • Population: approx. 3.72 million • -Largest municipality in Japan • Gross production: approx. ¥12.5 trillion (approx. $100 billion USD) • 21 minutes from Haneda Airport (Tokyo) Tokyo Narita International Airport Yokohama Haneda Airport • 1

  3. Population Growth in Yokohama Long-Term Urban Development Change in Population and Number of Households (10,000 people/households) Population Number of households 2.77 million people (1980) 1.37 million people(1960) 1890 1930 1960 2010 1990 • 2

  8. 2014-2017 Yokohama Mid-Term 4-Year Plan ○Setting pillars of policy for each future urban development strategy Strategy 1: Developing in a way that brings out each person’s full potential Strategy 2: Achieving economic growth and becoming a circular energy city Strategy 3: Regenerating a city packed with appeal and activity Strategy 4: Building a tenacious city for the future 2025 Target 3 Policy Pillars 1. Nurturing growth sectors/reinforcing centers of industry 2. Stimulating urban agriculture 3. Promoting energy measures Tokyo Olympics/ Paralympics Target 2 Complete the strategy 2017 Target 1 Show off Yokohama to the world Make steady strategic progress The ideal Yokohama Future urban development strategies (fiscal year)

  9. Toward a Circular Energy City Circular Energy City Community bicycles Solar power generation Yokohama is assertively introducing renewable energy and other technology to generate more energy in the city and use it efficiently and effectively. EV car-sharing ＢＥＭＳ Hydrogen stations Biomass power generation 8

  10. Formulation of a Yokohama City Energy Action Plan (March 2015) Main measures (5 pillars) Development of energy management Use of renewable/unused energy ＢＥＭＳ Use of hydrogen Introduction of energy-saving technology Integration with urban development 9

  11. Yokohama City Energy Action Plan Use of Hydrogen ○ Encouraging the spread of fuel cell vehicles ○ Encouraging installation of hydrogen stations ○ Spreading stationary fuel cells 10

  12. Deployment of Hydrogen Stations Yokohama’s Hydrogen Stations Aoba Ward Tsuzuki Ward Kohoku Ward ⑥ ④ Midori Ward Tsurumi Ward ① Kanagawa Ward Asahi Ward Seya Ward Hodogaya Ward Nishi Ward ⑤ ② Minami Ward Naka Ward ③ Hydrogen stations in the city: 6 ①Asahi Ward (opened February 2015) ②Izumi Ward (opened February 2015) ③Minami Ward (to open March 2016) ④Kohoku Ward (to open March 2016) ⑤Naka Ward (to open November 2015) ⑥Tsuzuki Ward (to open March 2016) Izumi Ward Totsuka Ward Konan Ward Isogo Ward Sakae Ward Izumi Ward Kanazawa Ward ※⑤ and ⑥ are mobile hydrogen stations

  13. Deployment of Fuel Cells Promoting Introduction of Home Fuel Cells • Home fuel cell (Ene-Farm) introduction figures (as of March 2015) • → approx. 7,700 in Yokohama (approx. 38,000 nationwide) • A unique “cogeneration system” generates power from the fuel cell and uses heat to boil water Using Hydrogen at the New City Hall Electricity City gas • Fuel cells will be introduced in the new city hall building to be used from 2020 Hot water Water Source: Toshiba Fuel Cell Power Systems Corp.

  14. Promoting Introduction of Fuel Cell Forklifts We are considering introducing this technology in the Keihin coastal area through a partnership between related companies and municipalities. • In addition to CO2-free hydrogen manufacturing using electricity generated by the Yokohama City Wind Power Plant, we will launch an initiative to build and demonstrate an integrated system from storage to transport to use. • Our aim is to contribute to future regional development and global warming countermeasures. Renewable energy electricity Hydrogen manufacturing Storage/compression Transport Use New facilities on the premises of Hama Wing Substation/distribution/storage facilities Keihin coastal area 水素圧縮機 （50N㎥/h） Hydrogen (H2) Partial use Substation/distribution board Energy storage battery system Substation (already in place) Hydrogen storage/compression equipment Hydrogen manufacturing equipment Yokohama City Wind Power Plant – “Hama Wing” (1,980kW) Hydrogen compressor Simple hydrogen filling trucks Fuel cell forklift FIT power sold (partial) • Fruit and vegetable markets • Refrigerated warehouses • Logistics warehouses • etc. Hydrogen storage tank Hydrogen (H2) Backup Cooperative electricity Water electrolysis equipment Water (H2O) Existing infrastructure Hydrogen supply from simple filling trucks (optimal transport reflecting operational conditions and needs) Backup hydrogen 13

  15. Spread of Hydrogen Use Prepared by the City of Yokohama based on the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy’s June 2014 Strategic Roadmap for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells and other materials. FCVs, etc. Reforming from fossil fuels such as natural gas From personal vehicles to public transportation and commercial/industrial vehicles Buses Forklifts Scooters FCV Hydrogen Byproducts from ironworks, chemical plants, etc. Fuel cells From home to business and industry Source: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Source: Panasonic Source: Toshiba Fuel Cell Power Systems Corp. • Sources of renewable energy • Water electrolysis • Reforming from methane gas Hydrogen power generation, etc. Liquefied hydrogen Organic hydride Toward a new, two-dimensional energy structure adding hydrogen to the current heat and electricity Overseas • The technology of companies and expertise of universities in Yokohama possess great potential for each of the stages in manufacturing, transporting/storing and using hydrogen. 14
