    Here’s an article posted in Hydrogen Central that talks about the future of carbon-neutral energy at the Nishio Plant.

    According to the article,

    • DENSO demonstrated a new energy management system using a highly-efficient solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) at its Nishio Plant in Japan.
    • The system aims to eliminate CO2 emissions from the facility and is part of DENSO’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.
    • Key components of the system include the SOFC, which can generate electricity using hydrogen as fuel with a world-leading power generation efficiency of 65%.

    DENSO’s energy management system at the Nishio Plant combines several components to optimize energy usage:

    • Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC): The SOFC generates electricity by utilizing hydrogen as fuel. It operates efficiently and provides a steady power supply.
    • Storage Battery: The system includes a storage battery that stores excess electricity generated by the SOFC. This stored energy can be used during peak demand or when the SOFC output is insufficient.
    • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) System: Electric vehicles (EVs) can act as mobile storage batteries. The V2G system allows EVs to supply power back to the grid or the plant during high-demand periods.
    • Smart Control: The system dynamically manages the charging and discharging of batteries based on real-time energy demand at the plant. It optimizes the use of both SOFC-generated electricity and stored energy.
    • Overall, this integrated approach ensures efficient energy utilization and contributes to reducing CO2 emissions from the facility
