Hydrogen in the near future

Hydrogen energy as the key to achieving zero carbon emissions

How can we actually realize it?
There are still many obstacles to overcome to realize the hydrogen society.
But hydrogen is a clean energy source that generates no CO2 emissions during usage, is also a key to realization of decarbonization.
Thanks to advances in hydrogen-related technologies, a clean and safety hydrogen society is just over the horizon.

Future

Hydrogen holds the key to building a new energy society.
Clean and safe hydrogen energy brings a promising future that benefits both the Earth and us.

  • Overcoming obstacles to the achievement of a hydrogen society,
    a star of hope for decarbonization

    Leveraging our strengths that we have cultivated through automotive systems development to take on challenges to the hydrogen field with our partners

    Transitions toward carbon neutrality are underway around the world, and the effective use of hydrogen will play a key role in these efforts. That’s why DENSO is leveraging its technologies developed in automotive system development to take on technological development in the field of “produce” and “use” of hydrogen.
    DENSO associates involved in development of hydrogen-related products is challenging themselves looking to the “carbon-neutral recycling society”.

  • Local production for local consumption:
    building a next-generation energy model in Fukushima

    DENSO Fukushima aims to revitalize the local region by utilizing hydrogen

    Local production for local consumption in the energy field is an important part of widespread carbon neutrality and greater energy resilience. And hydrogen will play a key role in this.
    DENSO Fukushima is trying the local production for local consumption of energy for utilization of hydrogen and revitalization of the local region.
    We will introduce how the company is working on the activities together with the local community to spread a new energy society model from Fukushima.

Solution & Tech

Introducing some of the solutions being developed to disseminate effective hydrogen usage more widely throughout society

  • DENSO is challenging itself to develop a solid oxide electrolysis cell system looking ahead to a future of hydrogen society

    Leveraging automotive technologies to generate hydrogen using renewable energy sources

    In order to realize widespread carbon neutrality, it is necessary to make use of hydrogen as a fuel. It is necessary to effectively produce and suitably utilize green hydrogen, which is generated by the renewable energy. That’s why DENSO is developing solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) systems, which are next-generation water electrolysis systems capable of producing hydrogen very efficiently.

  • Developing solid oxide fuel cells to help disseminate clean energy throughout society

    Utilizing heat management technologies to achieve both environment performance and economic feasibility

    In order to realize widespread carbon neutrality, it is necessary to make use of hydrogen as a fuel. It is necessary to produce at low cost and effectively utilize green hydrogen, which is generated by the renewable energy. That’s why DENSO is developing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems that oxidize hydrogen and other fuel types through a chemical reaction to produce electricity and heat resources.
