  • New Energy System Promotion Office, Yamanashi Prefecture Enterprise Bureau: https://www.pref.yamanashi.jp/newene-sys/
    Japan's Yamanashi Prefecture is known for its advanced activities in the field of renewable energy including hydroelectric and solar power.
  • The Yamanashi Model P2G System, which uses renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, is also attracting attention from abroad, and in 2023, delegations from India and other countries visited a Yamanashi Model P2G System installation.
  • Prime Minister of Gujarat State, India, visited Yamanashi Model P2G System: https://www.pref.yamanashi.jp.e.aao.hp.transer.com/chiji/katsudo/231126_...
    Yamanashi Prefectural Government is aiming to use CO2-free hydrogen by developing the Yamanashi Model P2G System to produce, store, and utilize hydrogen generated from renewable-source electric power.
  • The Yamanashi Model P2G System produces hydrogen with polymer-electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysis devices using the world's most efficient electrolytic membranes.

However, PEM uses iridium, one of the rarest of all traded precious metals, as the catalyst in its electrodes.

Key Points: 
  • However, PEM uses iridium, one of the rarest of all traded precious metals, as the catalyst in its electrodes.
  • Toshiba developed an iridium oxide nanosheet laminated catalyst that reduced the iridium requirement to 1/10 in 2017.
  • The company has now developed large-scale production technology that deposits the catalyst over a maximum area of 5m2 at one time.
  • Using Toshiba's laminated nanosheet structure in the catalyst layer successfully reduces the required iridium to 1/10, while maintaining the water electrolysis performance (Fig.
