The Tokyo Institute of Technology Information Energy Research and Education Consortium and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Information, Energy and Information Academy announced a fuel cell that generates electricity from energy. Both hydrogen and waste plastic hydrogen.
The new system is designed for commercial and industrial use and has a capacity of 100 kW.currently being tested At Tokyo Tech’s Environmental Energy Innovation Building (EEI), green hydrogen is received from solar power systems and storage racks of hydrogen produced from waste plastics.
“This system is the first in the world to mix hydrogen from renewable energy and hydrogen from waste plastic, supply it to a fuel cell, and connect it to a building’s air conditioning system to make advanced use of electricity and heat,” says Japan. the consortium said.
The purpose of the demonstration unit is to establish an urban hydrogen energy utilization model that appropriately mixes global hydrogen and local hydrogen.
The project uses the H2Rex system, a fuel cell technology provided by Toshiba. The Japanese company says polymer electrolyte fuel cells can change output, allowing them to track changes in load, making them ideal for energy generation applications. The company says the system can be booted in about five minutes.
