English to Japanese: News article on the fuel cell
Source text - English At the moment, using renewables is an expensive way of generating hydrogen (see table). So why is Europe heading in this direction? Alessandro Ovi, one of Mr Prodi's advisers, explains that Europe's push for hydrogen is motivated largely by a desire to meet its commitments to cut greenhouse gases under the Kyoto treaty on global warming. Accordingly, the EU has adopted demanding targets for increasing the share of renewable energy to 22% of the region's electricity supply by 2010, up from about half that today. Such a target for renewable energy sounds pretty green, but there is a snag: wind and solar energy are intermittent, and unlike other commodities—be they bananas or natural gas—there is no good way to store electricity for later use. No way, that is, unless you use renewable energy to produce hydrogen, and store this instead. It can then be used when the power grid is facing peak demand and the price of energy thus increases. Dr Ovi thinks hydrogen could transform the economics of renewables and play an essential role in the EU's clean-energy strategy.	Translation - Japanese 現在のところ、再生可能エネルギーを使用しての水素の抽出方法はコストが高い（表参照）。では、なぜヨーロッパはそれを目指しているのか。プロディ氏の顧問の一人であるアレッサンドロ・オビは、ヨーロッパが水素を推進するのは、地球温暖化に関する京都定義書の温室効果ガス削減の約束を果たしたいという思いが、大きな動機になっていると説明する。それ故にEUは２０１０年までに欧州の電気供給の内、再生可能エネルギーの割合を現在の約２倍にあたる２２％まで引き上げるという厳しい目標を設けた。そんな再生可能エネルギーのための目標はとても環境に良いように思えるが、潜在的問題もある。風力や太陽光エネルギーは断続的だし、他の商品--それがバナナであろうが天然ガスであろうが--と違い電気を後で使用する目的で保管しておく良い方法はない。ない、と言うのは、再生可能エネルギーを水素の製造のために使用し、水素を代わりに保管するという以外にということだ。そうすれば、電力供給網が需要のピークを迎え、それに従ってエネルギーの値段が上がった時に使うことができる。オビ博士は、水素は再生可能エネルギーの経済性を変貌させるかもしれず、EUのクリーンエネルギー戦略に重要な役割を果たすと考えている。

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
