摘要

The number of hydrogen generators (capacity of 20 m3/h or more) which went into operation last year came to 3, 4 less than the previous year. Sumitomo Seika Chemicals sold 2 units in Korea and Liquid Gas (Osaka Gas Group) sold a unit in domestic market. The reason that only a few units went into operation in 2011 was simply that orders received in 2010 were not as good as expected. 2011 too was a year with few inquiries. During the latter half of the year, however, there was a gradual increase in companies looking to introduce hydrogen generators. This turned into reality in early 2012. Although it cannot be said that companies did all that well regarding orders received, for companies the worst now appears to be over.
