1. To reduce the price of the ENE-FARM (PEFC-based micro-CHP system) being currently sold by about 20%.
2. To launch the sale of new ENE-FARMs, or SOFC-based micro CHP systems, in October this year.
3. Features of new ENE-FARM: 1) remarkable size reduction of about 40% (volume ratio) when compared with the current machine, and 2) the rated power generation efficiency = 45%.
4. Customers will have more flexible choice when buying the ENE-FARM, with addition of the new SOFC ENE-FARM.
5. To outsource production of the new ENE-FARMs to Dainichi Co., Ltd. (Niigata city).
6. To reveal the SOFC ENE-FARM in “FC EXPO 2011”, March 2 to 4, Tokyo Big Site.

PEFC Operable in Intermediate Temperature Region
Another Fuel Cell Operable in the intermediate temperature region (100 to 200 Celsius degree) was already developed. The fuel cell is a PEFC of the non-humidification type. A unique solid electrolyte membrane is used which is a PBI/H3PO4 composite membrane made of polybenzimidazole (PBI) doped with phosphoric acid. Possible applications of the technology are alkaline fuel cell, MFC and others, in addition to the PEFC.
Developer: Lab team led by Masahiro Rikukawa, professor of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Sophia University.

Micro-tubular SOFC Directly Reforms Hydrocarbon Fuel at 450℃ or Lower and Generates Electric Power
A micro SOFC has been recently developed. It is a micro-tubular SOFC. The operating temperature of the micro SOFC is 450 Celsius degree or lower. The developers = AIST and Prof. Nigel Sammes, Colorado School of Mines.
The micro-tubular SOFC is featured by:

“Hydrogen Town Project” is going on in Japan
The project has started on January 15, 2011.
The fuel cell systems using pure hydrogen as their fuel are demonstration tested in a (Kitakyushu) hydrogen town. In the town, ordinary homes, condominiums, commercial and public facilities are installed with different types of fuel cell systems (1 kw, 3 kw and 1,000 kw). Hydrogen gas is produced in Nippon Steel Yawata Works, located near the hydrogen town. Hydrogen gas produced is delivered to the hydrogen town, through the pipelines that are laid in the city area of the hydrogen town. The project is very unique.
