Clean Hydrogen Energy that Simply Reverts to Water

Hydrogen ? odorless, colorless, and clean

Hydrogen is gaining attention as a clean energy source.
It can be said that natural gas is the most appropriate choice as a fuel that modifies hydrogen.
By using the natural gas that is already piped to your home, you will be able to generate electricity smoothly and efficiently.

Natural gas ? ideal for extracting hydrogen

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is more efficient to extract hydrogen from than other fuels. It can be said that it is also appropriate due to the fact that it produces the smallest amount of CO2 following extraction.

Natural gas, energy that creates a comfortable environment

The municipal gas supply that is used as a hydrogen source in the ENE-FARM uses natural gas, which has the lowest output of carbon dioxide and other gases out of all fossil fuels, as its main component. This makes it gentle to the Earth.

Comparison of Amount of Waste Produced with Coal as 100 (at time of combustion)

The energy efficiency of existing electricity generation methods is only around 37% A household-use ENE-FARM can make this about 80%!

Normally, since energy is used in the remote locations where power stations are, the energy that we can utilize is around 37%.
And the heat produced during electricity generation is just vented out into the air.

For example, to know energy is to reduce wasted energy even by a small amount

The way we use energy, which is vital for our lifestyles, will greatly affect the future of the planet.
By generating electricity where we use it, we can reduce both CO2 and waste.
This idea of “distributed electricity generation” will lead to a new lifestyle that considers the environment.
The trump card for this distributed electricity generation is the fuel cell.

A distributed electricity generation system that reduces energy loss

By generating electricity where it is used, it is possible to greatly reduce the primary energy loss that has been wasted up until now.

A drop in primary energy consumption of around 27%, a drop in carbon dioxide production of around 40%

ENE-FARM efficiently uses its primary energy source, natural gas.
The reason that electricity and hot water can be produced without waste is because of this. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve higher energy savings and environmentalism than existing systems.

With one ENE-FARM your home can become a 2,800m2 forest

Compared to the amount of CO2 produced by households using existing systems, the amount of CO2 produced by a household that uses an ENE-FARM is about 1.3 tonnes less.
If we think of this in terms of the amount absorbed by a beech forest, then the scale would be a forest 2,800m2 in size. In other words, installing an ENE-FARM in every household would mean that we could make many small forests in the towns.
ENE-FARM is a measure that households can take to counter global warming.

Using the absorption amount of natural forest composed mainly of beech We can reduce it by the amount a 2,800m2 forest absorbs in a year. *Base unit for CO2 absorption by natural beech forest = 4.6 [t-CO2 / ha / year] *Based on a detached dwelling of a family of 4.(Osaka Gas calculations) Source : Japan Forestry Association materials


Comparisons with other CO2 reduction activities

Installing an ENE-FARM allows you to live a gracious and ecological lifestyle.
