Since its opening in 2018, the hotel has been in line with Kawasaki City's "Waterfront Vision" and
Under the "Kawasaki Hydrogen Strategy," Kawasaki is working with Resonac Inc. to participate in the Ministry of the Environment's "Regional Collaboration Low-Carbon Hydrogen Technology Demonstration Project."
Approximately 30% of the electricity used in the hotel was supplied by hydrogen, but this demonstration project ended on March 31, 2022.
On September 15, 2021, the hotel was selected for the Ministry of the Environment's "Project to Promote the Use of Hydrogen Derived from Renewable Energy Sources, etc., Toward the Creation of a Carbon-Free Society."
As part of the "Hydrogen Supply Chain Social Implementation Support Project" (※1), a fuel cell (FC) module manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation was used.
We will introduce a 50kW pure hydrogen stationary FC power generation system manufactured by Meiji Electric Industry Co., Ltd.
From September 1, 2023, we will start generating hydrogen power again as a "Hydrogen Hotel."
