Driving force to establish a New Industrial Cluster

Noboru Hashimoto[ Field: fuel cells, materials]●Currently, the first demonstration project of the fuel cell-powered forklift / hydrogen supply
infrastructure as an Asian airport is being operated.
●Taking advantage of fuel cell forklifts’ characteristics, we can increase operatingefficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and improve working conditions.
●With the first hydrogen station, KIX becomes the first airport in Japan to supply
hydrogen to fuel cell vehicles.

NLAB( National LABoratory for advanced energy storage technologies )●NITE* has built the world’s largest testing and evaluation facility.

We support businesses
in the hydrogenand fuel cell fields!

●In preparation for the commencement of testing services beginning summer 2016,
Osaka Prefecture, working with NITE and the national government, continues towork to improve the function and encouraging the use of those facilities.
●We are aiming to establish a system that provides necessary services for battery
business entry in a one-stop location here in Osaka.

Verification Projects using Reusable
EV Batteries (Yumeshima Area)

Application example of National Special Zone System●Since March 2014, we have implemented a project to demonstrate the capabilities of a highly-economical large-scale power
storage system constructed by connecting large quantities of discarded used batteries collected from electric vehicles (EV).

Hydrogen refueling for fuel cell forklifts●This project can contribute to a low-carbon society in two ways: by promoting EV use and expanding renewable energy.
●Now, we aim to develop an inexpensive power storage system using this technology and createa new energy management businessthat can provide stable power service by utilizing storage batteries.

Introducing the Nation’s Largest Fuel Cell in Osaka●In Osaka Wholesale Market, a private enterprise installed the nation’s first 1 MW level fuel cell system for commercial use,
and is currently verifying its CO2 reduction, as well as stability and reliability of its power supply.
●The Market purchases generated power and utilizes as emergency power supply.
