NTT, Toho Gas, Sumitomo trialing SOFC module

摘要

A partnership of several Japanese companies has jointly developed a 3 kW-class power generation module for commercial use based on solid oxide fuel cells. Telecoms giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation linked with Nagoya-based Toho Gas and Sumitomo Precision Products in Amagasaki to develop and operate a power generation trial running on town (natural) gas as the fuel achieved a top-level electrical conversion efficiency of 59% (lower heating value, LHV).
