Hideki Yoshino is the founder and CEO of Clean Planet Inc., an energy tech company based in Tokyo. His team is pioneering Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe®) — a new kind of safe fusion energy. QHe generates high-density heat using a small amount of hydrogen and a proprietary metal catalyst. The technology was co-developed with Tohoku University. It produces no radiation, no CO₂, and no nuclear waste. QHe is compact, clean, and highly efficient. Its energy density is over 10,000 times greater than natural gas. Just 10 grams of hydrogen can power a household’s heat and electricity for one month. Clean Planet is now building QHe-powered industrial boilers with Miura Co., Ltd. Fullscale production has begun, with commercial rollout planned after 2027. The company is also developing electricity systems using ORC and turbines. Hideki founded Clean Planet in 2012, driven by the lessons of the Fukushima nuclearfission accident. He wanted to create safer and more sustainable energy for our future. Earlier, he founded GABA Corporation while still a student at the University of Tokyo. He grew it into Japan’s largest English conversation school in just six years. Hideki holds a B.A. in Law from the University of Tokyo and an M.Sc. in Finance from London Business School. He is a black belt in both Judo and Karate, and a proud father of three — and one Shiba Inu. His mission: to deliver safe, abundant, and sustainable energy to the world.
