Our partner DENSO have announced that DENSO and JERA have begun Japan's first demonstration of SOEC hydrogen production at a JERA Thermal Power Station.

This demonstration aims to achieve hydrogen production with the world’s highest-level electrolysis efficiency by applying DENSO’s heat-management technology to minimise the heat discharged by the SOECs.

Going forward, based on the results of the demonstration testing, DENSO aims to scale up the electrolysis power from 200kW to several thousand kW as DENSO accelerates the use of SOEC next-generation fuel production systems. In addition, through this collaboration, DENSO and JERA will work to establish a global supply chain for green hydrogen and ammonia, creating an ecosystem to drive global decarbonisation.
