Development of Residential PEFC for Home use

Abstract

Osaka Gas has been developing PEFC cogeneration system for Japanese residential market since 1999, and we have developed its fuel processor and CO preferential oxidation catalyst for this application. The fuel processor has already achieved the targeting thermal efficiency, which is above 82% (HHV), its targeting durability over 90,000 hours can be also expected from our test results, and. CO concentration is reduced below 1 ppm.

Since the year before last, we have started the joint development programs individually with four promising manufactures. So, we will introduce these activities of PEFC cogeneration systems development.
