JPI Seminar on Turquoise Hydrogen Production

On May 18, 2026, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) will hold an insightful seminar featuring Takaki Muroi, the representative of ICLabo, discussing the latest advancements in production technology for turquoise hydrogen via methane pyrolysis. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn about this innovative approach to hydrogen production, its current status, and future industrial prospects.

Understanding Turquoise Hydrogen

Turquoise hydrogen is produced through the thermal decomposition of methane, a process that generates solid carbon as a byproduct instead of CO2. While hydrogen produced by steam methane reforming is cost-effective, it poses environmental risks due to CO2 emissions. With turquoise hydrogen, industries can achieve substantial hydrogen production at lower costs, making it a promising solution for sustainable energy. This seminar will offer detailed insights into the current developments and practical applications of turquoise hydrogen technology and its viability in Japan.
