This emergency generator creates power using fuel cells by creating hydrogen from liquid fuel (methanol-water solution), which is not regulated by national law. The fuel in the tank within the device can supply 4.5 kW of power for approx. 40 hours. The noise produced is as quiet as an outdoor air conditioner. The exhaust gas is free of SOx, and CO2 emissions are half of diesel generators of identical level, so it contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.
Methanol-reforming fuel cells
It is easy to handle since it has been approved for Electric Facilities for General Use in the Electricity Business Act. The methanol-water solution used as fuel is not regulated by national law, so transport and stockpiling are easy. Fuel can be added even while in operation. The noise produced is comparable to an outdoor air conditioner, meaning that indoor use is also possible. The exhaust gas is free of S, and CO2 emissions are half of diesel generators with identical output, so it contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.

Power source equipment for fuel cells
Developed for use in fuel cells (ME2Power), AC power can be supplied by installing as a set when an AC power source is required.
It can be combined with 100V, 200V, and 3-phase power, and can be changed according to needs.
