在九州大学伊藤校区，在教育、文化、体育、科学和技术部、经济产业省和NEDO技术开发组织的支持下，与相关研究机构（如国家先进工业科学技术研究所）和福冈氢能战略会议等地区密切合作，从氢能领域的高级人力资源开发和基础研究到产业与学术合作研究。
从2010年开始，开始了“产业-学术-政府区域合作氢社会示范研究”项目，旨在与基础和产业学术合作研究相结合，开展实证研究，建立产业、学术界、政府与当地社区一体化的世界独一无二的氢能教育和研究中心。此外，该中心的目标是利用氢能技术为实现低碳社会做出贡献，同时支持2010年12月启动的“碳中和能源国际研究所”。
其中氢气制造研究部研究的氢气生产技术范围很广，从目前广泛的城市燃气和其他低碳氢化合物原料的改性，到生物质转化、水电解、水热化学分解和光解等未来技术。为了提高现有氢气生产技术的效率，并实现下一代技术的实际应用，他们研究重整催化剂技术，这些催化剂技术是这些氢生产技术的共同基础。特别是，在生物质氢生产技术方面，作为可再生能源之一，他们将与机械工程部的日本燃气协会氢气生产系统课程合作，通过实验和理论合作进行研究。
At the Kyushu University Ito Campus, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the NEDO Technology Development Organization, we work closely with relevant research institutions such as the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and the Fukuoka Hydrogen Energy Strategy Conference, from advanced human resource development and basic research in the field of hydrogen energy to industry-academia collaborative research.
Since 2010, the project "Industry-academia-Government Regional Cooperation Hydrogen Society Demonstration Research" has been launched, aiming to combine basic and industry-academic cooperation research to carry out empirical research and establish a world-only hydrogen energy education and research center that integrates industry, academia, government, and local communities. In addition, the center aims to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society using hydrogen energy technology, while supporting the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy, which was launched in December 2010.
Among them, the hydrogen production research department researches a wide range of hydrogen production technologies, from the modification of a wide range of current city gas and other low-carbon hydrogen feedstocks, to future technologies such as biomass conversion, water electrolysis, hydrothermal chemical decomposition and photolysis. In order to improve the efficiency of existing hydrogen production technologies and enable practical applications of next-generation technologies, they are researching reforming catalyst technologies that are the common basis of these hydrogen production technologies. In particular, in terms of biomass hydrogen production technology, as one of the renewable energy sources, they will cooperate with the Japan Gas Association Hydrogen Production System Course of the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering to conduct research through experimental and theoretical cooperation.
