Akihabara News (Tokyo) — A hydrogen fuel station jointly developed by Eneos and Toyota is expected to open in the Woven City in the 2024-2025 time frame.
The hydrogen delivered at the Woven City station is expected to be “green hydrogen”; that is, produced entirely by renewable energy.
The partners have also indicated that the hydrogen fuel from this station may also be connected to a community pipeline where it could supply energy for local homes.
Woven City, where the station will operate, is billed by Toyota as “the prototype city of the future.” It will essentially be a research camp in which renewable energy and high-technology devices will be tested in a real-life setting.
Among the technologies to be featured will be hydrogen vehicles, as well as autonomous driving.
The Woven City concept was unveiled by Toyota in 2020, and it is currently under development at a location in Susono city, Shizuoka Prefecture. Construction broke ground in February last year.
The community will be home to 360 residents in its initial stage, including Toyota employees and their families, as well as senior citizens and scientists involved in the project.
