Panasonic to launch 10 kW pure hydrogen fuel cell generator in Europe, Australia, and China

In Japan, Panasonic Corporation announced that its Electric Works Company will launch a new pure hydrogen fuel cell generator that generates power through a chemical reaction between high-purity hydrogen and oxygen in the air in October 2024 in Europe, Australia, and China.

In October 2021, Panasonic launched a 5 kW type pure hydrogen fuel cell generator PH1 (single-phase three-wire type). The company will now launch a new product PH3 (DC type) for overseas markets to fully scale up its hydrogen business outside Japan.

Since the PH3 to be launched is a cogeneration system, it can output a maximum of 10 kW of DC power, and generate approximately 8.2 kW of heat, which can be used to heat water to approximately 60ºC. The product is designed to output DC power in order to support power voltage in a wide variety of countries and areas, the company said.

Panasonic also noted it will offer a new option, full-scale use of hydrogen, in order to expand the introduction of renewable energy based on the Panasonic GREEN IMPACT formulated by the Group.
