Contributing to the Realization of a Hydrogen Society
TANAKA deal a variety of fuel cell-related products using precious metals, including Fuel Cell Electrocatalysts used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC), which boast one of the world’s largest shipments, Water Electrocatalysts for hydrogen production, Palladium Hydrogen Permeable Membranes for high-purity hydrogen purification, Reforming Catalysts for hydrogen production from hydrocarbons such as natural gas, and PROX catalysts that selectively oxidize and remove carbon monoxide during hydrogen production.
In recent years, the global shift to renewable energy, aiming at the elimination of fossil fuels, has been advancing, centering on the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21.
Hydrogen energy is positioned as a core technology, and practical applications such as hydrogen production from renewable energy sources, hydrogen energy storage and transportation, and hydrogen utilization in fuel cells are advancing. Amid this global trend, TANAKA will actively develop new technologies and continue to contribute to the realization of a hydrogen society as a leading company in precious metal products.
