Japanese move to secure PGM deposits in order to fulfill their hydrogen economy plans. NED took on for introducing the parties who want to secure PGM deposits, the circular tells anyone that in black and white.
87 part consortium/coalition isn't for a little play at building the hydrogen economy, it's a massive industrial move to meet the requirements of Japan's clean energy targets. To make sure it takea place how they want it to, they require everything from the PGM's in the ground right the way through to the FCEV and FC powered factories to make it all happen. All government supported in Japan, everyone who is anyone is in on the transition.

"Development of Hydrogen in Japan
Japan is one of the further advanced countries in relation to developing hydrogen projects and has the advantage of having a designated government policy supporting the uptake of hydrogen, coupled with a public acceptance of hydrogen projects in the domestic-energy mix.
Japan is now in the third wave of hydrogen. The first wave was in the early 1990s, the second wave was in early 2000s, and the third wave started around 2015. In pursuit of finding a way to be independent from the fossil fuel produced in the Middle East and recognising both Japan’s limited domestic energy resources as well as a desire to decarbonise its energy mix, Japan made a deliberate choice to develop a hydrogen-based society in the 1990s."

"With the Basic Hydrogen Strategy released on December 26, 2017, Japan reiterated its commitment to pioneer the world's first 'Hydrogen Society'. The Strategy primarily aims to achieve the cost parity of hydrogen with competing fuels, such as gasoline in transport and LNG in power generation. The retail price of hydrogen is currently around 100 yen per normal cubic meter and the target is to reduce it to 30 yen/Nm3 by 2030 and to 20 yen/Nm3 in the long-term. Toward this end, over the past six years, the Japanese government has dedicated approximately $1.5 billion to technology R and D and subsidies in support of: Achieving low cost, zero-emission hydrogen production from overseas fossil fuels + Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), or from renewable energy electrolysis; Developing infrastructure for import and domestic distribution of hydrogen; Scaling up hydrogen use across various sectors, such as mobility, residential Combined Heat and Power (CHP), and power generation."
