Panasonic launched its pioneering Panasonic HX project in Ottobrunn, Germany, integrating 5 hydrogen fuel cells and a photovoltaic system to power the Customer Experience Center with 100% green electricity. This innovation showcases Panasonic's commitment to sustainable energy solutions, decarbonization, and reducing CO2 emissions. The project, completed within a year through collaboration with local partners, is a significant step towards long-term sustainable energy solutions. The advanced technology not only powers the center but also serves as a demonstration of a modern hydrogen transformation, emphasizing decentralization and resilience in energy supply. The system's Energy Management System efficiently controls the fuel cells and PV system, contributing to optimized power generation. As part of its strategy, Panasonic plans to invest around 130 million Euros in the Panasonic HX technology. This investment aligns with Panasonic's broader sustainability goals, aiming to combat climate change and achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2030. The successful implementation in Ottobrunn follows similar projects in Japan and Wales, reinforcing Panasonic's commitment to green innovation and sustainable energy solutions.
