DENSO and JERA Collaborate on High-Efficiency Hydrogen Generation Technology
Key Ideas
- DENSO and JERA are partnering to develop high-efficiency hydrogen generation technology that combines SOEC with waste heat utilization.
- The joint demonstration testing will take place at a JERA thermal power station, aiming to scale up the technology to a multi-thousand kW level.
- The collaboration is part of DENSO's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 and JERA's objective of zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
- The companies aim to establish a global supply chain for green hydrogen and ammonia, contributing to global decarbonization and energy solutions.
DENSO Corporation and JERA Co., Inc. have announced a collaboration to jointly develop high-efficiency hydrogen generation technology that incorporates SOEC with waste heat utilization. DENSO's expertise in automotive systems is being applied to the development of SOEC, known for its high stability and efficiency. JERA, under its Zero CO2 Emissions 2050 goal, is working on a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The joint demonstration testing, starting in FY 2025 using a 200kW SOEC, aims to advance hydrogen production technology. The companies plan to scale up the technology and contribute to global decarbonization efforts. DENSO's commitment to carbon neutrality and JERA's focus on zero-emission thermal power align in this venture towards establishing a global supply chain for green hydrogen and ammonia.
