[Key Lecture Contents] Decarbonization in automobiles is no longer solely focused on EVs. It has entered a phase where EVs, hydrogen, and RNG are selectively used depending on the industrial structure of each country and region, renewable energy and biomass resources, and infrastructure constraints. This lecture will compare policies such as the US tax credits, LCFS, and RFS; China's NEV promotion policies and hydrogen demonstration projects; and Europe's RED III and AFIR. It will organize which fuels each region aims to develop for which applications. It will also illustrate different winning strategies for passenger cars and commercial vehicles and provide implications for Japanese companies.

1. Why Examine "Automotive Fuel Policies" through Regional Comparison Now? 2. United States: RNG, Hydrogen, and Low-Carbon Fuels Expanding with Market Incentives 3. China: A Two-Pronged Strategy Centering on EVs, Nurturing Hydrogen for Commercial Vehicles 4. Europe: EV, Hydrogen, and Renewable Gas Progressing with Regulatory Drive 5. Implications for Japanese Companies: What Should Japan Learn and How Should It Act? 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
