Japan is a mature and pioneering market in ammonia-based hydrogen, having initiated research more than a decade ago. The country’s Basic Hydrogen Strategy strongly endorses ammonia cracking, particularly for power generation and shipping. Japanese firms are leading technology demonstrations globally. Challenges include high costs and dependency on imports. However, strong policy alignment, industry commitment, and international collaboration especially with Australia and Saudi Arabia underscore Japan’s continued leadership. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is investing in port infrastructure upgrades. Public-private hydrogen councils are driving technology commercialization. The nation's aging energy infrastructure is also prompting clean transition solutions.
