“…Aside from the demand for further technical breakthroughs, understanding attitudes of HFCVs is another non-negligible factor that should be considered due to its influence on the commercial application. 70 As of January 2021, Japan established the world's largest hydrogen station network, but the numbers of HFCVs on-road and hydrogen refueling stations are only half and one-third of that in the US, respectively. 70 It has been found that HFCV adopters in Japan are mostly male in their 50s and above, who have a higher interest and a higher socioeconomic status than non-adopters.…”

This is different from Europe and the US where younger households are more likely to purchase green fuel vehicles.…”

“…Although, electric vehicles can also have indirect carbon emission due to power generation, the penetration of electric vehicles at the point of the survey was rather low in the country (only 1% of new sold private vehicles are electric) [7]. Similarly hydrogen vehicles also had very low penetration rates at the time of the survey, despite ambitious targets [53]. For this reason, in this study, we only consider direct carbon emissions due to direct fossil fuel use.…”

The transport sector is a major contributor to anthropogenic climate change through the emissions of large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from fossil fuel combustion. Private vehicles account for almost half of the transport energy demand, and are thus a major target of climate change mitigation efforts. However, emissions from private vehicles can have large variability due to various geographic, demographic and socioeconomic factors. This study aims to understand how such factors affect private vehicle emissions in Japan using a nationally representative survey of household energy consumption (n=7,370) for 2017. The results indicate a large temporal and spatial variability in private vehicle emissions. Annual emissions show three peaks associated with major holiday seasons in winter and summer. Some of the more noteworthy spatial patterns are the higher emissions in prefectures characterized by low population density and mountainous terrain. Income, city size and the fuel-saving driving behavior all have a significant effect on emissions. The results indicate the need for sub-regional and socioeconomically-sensitive mitigation efforts that reflect the very different emission patterns, and the factors affecting them. The strong effect of city size, which is often much more clear-cut than between prefectures, suggests that it is more appropriate to approach transport decarbonization in Japan at the city level.

“…With the growth of global energy demand and the limit on greenhouse gas emissions, the research on hydrogen as a kind of green substitute energy attracts a lot of attention, and some applications have been realized from laboratories to industries. A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is considered a kind of substitution for fuel vehicles relying on carbon‐containing fuels such as petrol and natural gas [1]. The benefits of using hydrogen fuel are that the energy can be transferred from clean sources such as the sun, wind, and so forth, and hydrogen combustion only produces water, which will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions [2].…”

A method for the determination of organic chlorides in hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles by gas chromatography coupled with ion mobility spectrometry was established. Organic chlorides were separated by a non‐polar gas chromatography column and detected in the negative ion mode of the ion mobility spectrometer. The effect of operating parameters of ion mobility spectrometer including drift gas flow rate and drift tube temperature on sensitivity and resolution were evaluated. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits of seven organic chlorides were from 0.65 to 6.73 nmol/mol, which met the requirement of detection for the specification limit of 50 nmol/mol of total halogen impurities in hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles. Compared with gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography coupled with electron capture detector under the same gas chromatography conditions, gas chromatography coupled with ion mobility spectrometry method demonstrated higher sensitivity for detection of organic chlorides under study. Based on the portability of the device and its detection capabilities, gas chromatography coupled with ion mobility spectrometry has the potential to perform online detection of impurities in hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles.
