2024年05月21日 15時00分
MIURA CO., LTD. (President, CEO & CTO: Tsuyoshi Yoneda; hereinafter "MIURA CO.") and Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (President & Director: Kingo Hayashi; hereinafter "Chubu Electric Power") have entered into a joint research agreement (hereinafter "the agreement") for the development of a small once-through boiler for co-firing city gas and ammonia (hereinafter "ammonia co-firing boiler").The two companies and Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Co., Inc. (President: Yasunori Kamiya, hereinafter "Miraiz") have also agreed to proceed with studies toward commercialization and marketing of ammonia co-firing boiler. Industrial boilers used mainly in factories today are fueled primarily by heavy oil and gas, and are required to switch to fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, which do not emit CO2 during combustion, in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.Among these fuels, ammonia is expected to be a decarbonized energy source that can be implemented in society on an early stage, since its transportation and storage technologies have been well established. However, further technological innovation is still required for the use of ammonia as a fuel, due to its difficulty in stable combustion at high temperatures and the need to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted during combustion. Based on the agreement, MIURA CO. and Chubu Electric Power will work on the development of a co-firing burner of city gas and ammonia and combustion tests using an experimental facility to be installed in Engineering Research & Development Division of Chubu Electric Power (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture). Furthermore, with the addition of Miraiz, the three companies will conduct market research and study product specifications, etc. for ammonia co-firing boilers with the aim of commercializing the product as soon as possible. The three companies will contribute to the realization of a carbon neutral society by supporting customers' decarbonization efforts through decarbonization solutions for heat utilization processes in the industrial sector.

Chubu Electric Power and NEWGREEN Inc. (President and CEO: Daisuke Yamanaka; Location: Koganei, Tokyo; hereinafter "NEWGREEN") have agreed to a business alliance to commercialize rice production through direct seeding and water-saving cultivation of paddy rice (hereinafter "the cultivation method"). Today, Chubu Electric Power announced that it has invested approximately 100 million yen in a third-party allotment of new shares conducted by NEWGREEN. NEWGREEN is a group company of SHONAI Inc. (President: Daisuke Yamanaka, Location: Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture). With the mission of "connecting Japanese agriculture with the global green market," NEWGREEN is an agricultural venture that develops and manufactures automatic weed control robots for paddy fields, supports production and distribution of organic rice and low environmental impact rice, as well as develops and sells agricultural materials using unutilized resources. Domestic agriculture, most notably rice cultivation, is now facing a number of social issues, such as the aging and decline of farmers, the occurrence of degraded farmland, and the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, such as methane. NEWGREEN promotes a cultivation method in which seed rice is sown directly and cultivated without water basically until harvest, taking in water and nutrients from rainwater and groundwater through a medium such as mycorrhizal fungi to grow the rice.The cultivation method saves labor for seedling cultivation, rice planting, and water management, which account for approximately 60% of the labor required in conventional cultivation, and significantly improves productivity, leading to the elimination of degraded farmland through farmland accumulation and intensification as well as the reduction of methane emissions close to zero by not applying water. Based on this agreement, Chubu Electric Power, in cooperation with NEWGREEN, will begin a demonstration of the cultivation method in the Chubu area this fiscal year. After establishing a cultivation system over a large area through the demonstration, the company will promote full-scale cultivation from the next fiscal year onward, and expand the production bases through collaboration with producers while aiming to establish supply chains in Japan and overseas. In addition, the two companies will study the creation of new business models that combine the resources and services of each company. Through the production of rice using this highly productive and decarbonizing cultivation method, Chubu Electric Power will build a food infrastructure to solve social issues in the agricultural sector thus contributing to the realization of a sustainable and livable society and the achievement of the SDGs. <Reference> Overview of NEWGREEN Company Name NEWGREEN Inc.

Among decarbonized fuels, hydrogen has a higher combustion temperature than ammonia, and also its use as a fuel for small boilers, engines, etc. is expanding.Compared to hydrogen on the other hand, ammonia, since its transport and storage technologies are well established, is expected to play a role as a hydrogen carrier for transporting large quantities of hydrogen. Given these factors, we believe that the need for ammonia-derived hydrogen will increase in the future. TOYO and Nippon Seisen have long been involved in the development of compact system to produce hydrogen from ammonia at customers' premises. Under this MOU, Chubu Electric Power and Miraiz will conduct market research and economic evaluation on the system, as well as study the technical requirements necessary for its commercialization. Taking these into account, TOYO and Nippon Seisen will proceed with this development, and the four companies will jointly conduct a demonstration test at the customer's premises, aiming for the first practical application of the system in Japan. The four companies will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by facilitating customers' efforts to decarbonize their businesses through solutions to issues related to the further utilization of hydrogen.
