As known, ENEFARM generally stands for every type of residential FC (fuel cell) CHP system manufactured in Japan. It consists of two types: one uses the PEFC (polymer electrolyte fuel cell) for the fuel cell unit and the other, the SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell). The SOFC is called the next generation fuel cell, and has many advantages over the PEFC. The advantages are high efficiency, simple structure, high endurance, a variety of fuels available, etc. The SOFC ENEFARM cogenerators were launched in 2011.
The ENEFARM FC cogenerators are still in the early stage market, which started in 2010. Its price is still high, 2,500,000 yen (x 1/about 80 = usd)s/system. Users may use the subsidy up to 700,000 yen. The price is scheduled to be halved or lower, for example, around 1,000,000 yen in 2015. The technical development aggressively progresses for the price reduction. >> More
