Key Points: 
  • *
    To realize a decarbonized society, a multi-pathway strategy to address various issues in the mobility sector is necessary, rather than focusing on a single energy source.
  • Against this backdrop, research and development targeted at commercialization of mobility with engines powered by hydrogen - deemed a next-generation energy source - is gaining momentum.
  • The members of HySE will continue to deepen their collaborative relations in order to provide a variety of small mobility options to users and meet their diverse needs, thereby contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society.
  • There are many challenges in the development of hydrogen-powered engines, but we hope to see the association's activities advance the fundamental research in order to meet those challenges.
