今回は、国内で調達した水素に加えオーストラリアに大量にある低品質な石炭「褐炭」から製造した水素を使いレースに挑みました

This time, in addition to the hydrogen procured domestically, we challenged the race using hydrogen produced from a large amount of low-quality coal ”brown coal” in Australia.

今回の水素は空輸しましたが、今後は川崎重工業が開発している液体の水素を運べる船を使って1度に大量に運ぶことを目指します

The hydrogen was shipped by air this time, but in the future we aim to carry a large amount at once using a ship that can carry liquid hydrogen developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

水素社会の実現に向けてはコスト面などが課題となっていますが、トヨタは自動車業界以外の企業とも協力し、低コストで水素を供給できる環境作りを目指すとしています

Costs are an issue for the realization of a hydrogen-based society, but Toyota aims to create an environment where hydrogen can be supplied at low cost in cooperation with companies other than the automobile industry.
