Table 3-3-1. Assumed future scenarios.

Name Aim
Reference scenario The effect of posing upper limit on carbon dioxide emission on market penetration of hydrogen is examined.
Carbon Tax Scenario The effect of posing carbon tax on market penetration of hydrogen is examined.
High Fossil Fuel Price Scenario The effect of jump-up of fossil fuel price on market penetration of hydrogen is examined.
Low Hydrogen Price Scenario The effect of cost-down in reference hydrogen price on its market penetration is examined.
Low Nuclear Capacity Scenario The effect of posing severer upper limit on nuclear power capacity on market penetration of hydrogen is examined.


Table 3-3-2 Sensitivity of changes in characteristics of hydrogen utilization technologies

(Note) 1. Results on Reference scenario: price down of hydrogen: 2%/annum, upper limit on CO2, emission :100% of 1990 level
2. Upper row in the medium column is a reference value and lower row shows the condition for sensitivity evaluation.
3. Sensitivity is computed on accumulated consumption of hydrogen.
