Electrolyser deployed at Japanese auto part plant to replace natural gas
US hydrogen technology company Teledyne Energy Systems (TESI) has deployed a small-scale electrolyser at a Japanese automotive component manufacturer’s green hydrogen demonstration facility to replace natural gas.
Auto supplier JTEKT will use TESI’s Titan El Series alkaline system to produce hydrogen onsite, which will be used to offset the liquified natural gas consumption in furnaces for aluminium melting and die-casting.
Installed at JTKET’s “carbon neutral plant” in the Aichi Prefecture of Okazaki City, the electrolyser will be powered by on-site solar and renewable grid electricity.
According to TESI, replacing the burner’s fossil fuel with green hydrogen could reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 56 tonnes per year.
