The Japanese government has announced introduction of ammonia into the fuel mix for thermal power generation and shipping from the late 2020s to help achieve carbon neutrality in 2050.

Alongside the national hydrogen strategy released by the Japanese government, it is clear that at both a national and industry level, Japan has yet to fully commit to pursuing either fuel technology to the exclusion of the other.
