Shuwa System Shinsha Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Kengo Tsushima) will publish a new book, 'Illustrated Business Guide: The Latest Hydrogen Energy - How it Works and Trends - Second Edition,' on May 14, 2026.
As countries worldwide aim to move away from fossil fuels, the global hydrogen market is predicted to expand to $2.5 trillion by 2050, with global corporations vying for its capture.
In Japan, the government is strongly supporting social implementation, with the revision of the 'Basic Hydrogen Strategy' in June 2023 and the enactment of the 'Hydrogen Society Promotion Act' in May 2024. Furthermore, the '7th Basic Energy Plan,' revised in February 2025, clearly positioned hydrogen as a 'next-generation energy' critical for achieving carbon neutrality. With a planned investment of 15 trillion yen over 15 years from both public and private sectors, hydrogen is no longer a distant dream but a 'huge business' currently being implemented in society.
