![]() Giichi Itoh - ArticlesToward a low carbon society
What we can do for it, now, One of many approaches is ... to spread swiftly worldwide new technologies ceaselessly emerging, if possible, in the world carbon mitigation, carbon killing, carbon ... Jsr Completes Construction Of Mass-Production Plant For Producing Hydrocarbon Electrolyte MembranesJSR has completed the construction of a mass-production plant for producing hydrocarbon electrolytic membranes for fuel cells at its factory site of Yokkaichi City in Mie Prefecture. The production capability of the plant is equivalent to the number of the hydrocarbon electrolytic membranes used by ten thousands to twenty thousands of motor vehicles per year. Tokyo Gas Successfully Develops High Performance Catalyst For Fuel ProcessorTokyo Gas has successfully developed a high performance catalyst, and drastically improved a fuel process (for reforming natural gas into hydrogen) by using the new catalyst. New Alh3 Synthesizing Method Using Direct Hydrogenation of AluminumA new method of synthesizing an aluminum hydride (AlH3) has been developed by the researchers (Mr. Saito, Mr. Aoki et al.) in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). A direct reaction of aluminum with hydrogen was used for the AlH3 synthesis. Succeeded in Visualizing Incoming and Outgoing Motions of Lithium Ions at Positive Electrode by Electron MicroscopeDr. Akita Tomoki et al., AIST's researchers#1, succeeded in visualizing the incoming and outgoing motions of lithium ions at the positive electrode of the lithium ion battery by using the electron microscope.
The success will trigger the impetus of developing the lithium ion battery toward its performance enhancement. Cpi Uses Hrein Energy's Technology of Hydrogen Storage for Hydrogen Influstructure ProjectHrein Energy, Inc. (Hokkaido-based company) signed a contract with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to cooperatively promote the hydrogen influstructure project.
Hrein provides its proprietary technology of hydrogen storage to the CPI and the enterprises participating in the hydrogen influstructure project. Panasonic Revealed New Micro Dmfc, Size is HalvedPanasonic revealed a new micro DMFC system for use with mobile devices and exhibited in " Hydrogen Energy Advanced Technology Exhibition 2008", October 22 to 24, Kita-Kyushu city. Two types of protocols are exhibited: one is a micro DMFC incorporated into a note PC and the other is a micro DMFC charger. Aquafairy's Pefc Charger is Ready for Mass ProductionAquafairy Corporation has remarkably improved the fuel cell charger for mobile devices, and completes its mass production technology and the building of a mass production line, which is capable of producing 250,000 units/month. Dr. Ihara Further Evolves His Technologies on Direct Hydrocarbon SofcAssociate professor Ihara Manabu, Research Center for Carbon Recycling Energy, Tokyo Institute of Technology, has further evolved his technologies on the SOFC, which directly uses hydrocarbon of the primary fuel for electric power generation. Eneos Celltech Also Builds 10,000 Residential Fc Systems/year Production FactoryENEOS CELLTECH Co., Ltd. has started for the preparation for the mass-production of ENEFARMs (residential fuel cell cogeneration systems).
The company will revamp the factory of SANYO, located in Gunma prefecture, for mass-producing the FC cogeneration systems. 2008 Fc Market Research in JapanFuji-Keizai Co., Ltd. disclosed an outline of a 2008 FC market research report in Japan.
Most attention is paid to the commercialization of the residential fuel cell systems (2009) and the micro fuel cells (2009).
In the market, there are many strong products competing against the fuel cell products. This will impede the growth of the fuel cell market.
It is forecast that the overall fuel cell market scale will be 1,206,900,000,000 yen in 2020.
