Support for businesses introducing equipment producing or using hydrogen(1)
● Project to promote the introduction of equipment etc. for the social implementation of Green Hydrogen [New in FY 2025]
In order to encourage the social implementation of Green Hydrogen, TMG is committed to the widespread use of hydrogen based on an increased demand for it by subsidizing the introduction of facilities for the production, transportation, and storage of Green Hydrogen as well as those for using hydrogen.
| Subsidized equipment | Subsidized expenses | Subsidy rates | Maximum subsidies |
|---|---|---|---|
| (1) Green Hydrogen production equipment |
Design costs Equipment costs Construction costs Miscellaneous expenses |
2/3 or 1/2 for mixed combustion equipment |
300M yen or 225M yen for mixed combustion equipment (for each facility (1) to (5)) |
| (2) Green Hydrogen storage equipment | |||
| (3) Green Hydrogen transportation equipment | |||
| (4) Pure hydrogen fuel cell | |||
| (5) Other equipment using hydrogen (unmixed/mixed combustion) |
(5) Other equipment using hydrogen includes:
- Hydrogen fuel boilers
- Hot water generators
- Hydrogen burners
- Hydrogen fuel engines (The subsidy also covers equipment that uses both hydrogen and existing fuels through mixed combustion and other techniques)
Support for businesses introducing equipment producing or using hydrogen(2)
● Project to promote the formation of smart energy areas using hydrogen in the commercial and industrial sectors
- Subsidized equipment: Commercial and industrial fuel cells
- Subsidy rate (maximum subsidy): 2/3 (333 million yen)
Support for businesses introducing equipment producing or using hydrogen (3)
● Project to support the implementation of equipment producing or using Green Hydrogen [Expanded in FY 2025]
Hydrogen equipment manufacturers will propose model plans that package equipment covering production through use of Green Hydrogen in a form suitable for installation in Tokyo. Businesses will explore installation locations and costs by referring to the model plans.
TMG will provide support for the introduction of these model plans.
Project content
| Subsidized equipment | Subsidy rate | Maximum subsidies | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen production capacity of 10 Nm³ or more | Less than 10 Nm³ | ||
| One package*¹ | 10/10 | 400 million yen | 330 million yen |
| Other than one package | 280 million yen | 177 million yen | |
| Renewable electricity equipment*² | 54 million yen | ||
*1 Equipment that integrates hydrogen production through use in a container
*2 To be subsidized according to hydrogen production capacity. Additionally subsidized if the amount of hydrogen production goes beyond the power capacity set by this project
Project sequence
- Start of public invitation of model plans from manufacturers
- The Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Public Corporation publishes proposed model plans (since August 2023).
- Based on the published model plans, businesses apply for subsidies to the corporation, contract with manufacturers, and start construction work for introducing equipment (installation and reporting to be completed by the end of December 2027).
- The Corporation subsidizes the introduction costs after businesses complete the introduction.
- Businesses hold an inspection tour of equipment, disseminate information on it, and report the outcomes to the Corporation.
