Yanmar Energy Systems Co., Ltd. (Yanmar ES), a subsidiary of Yanmar Holdings, has commercialized the HP35FA1Z, a compact and multi-unit controllable H₂ fuel cell power generation system, and will begin accepting orders in Japan on September 2, 2024.

With the increased focus on renewable energy to achieve a decarbonized society, government and municipalities in Japan are advancing efforts to promote the use of H₂ as a fuel, including the enactment of the H₂ Society Promotion Bill in May 2024. In September 2023, Yanmar ES opened the YANMAR CLEAN ENERGY SITE in Okayama Prefecture to develop and demonstrate H₂-related technologies, which are expected to be lead the way in decarbonizing society.

The HP35FA1Z H₂ fuel cell power generation system with a power output of 35 kW does not emit greenhouse gases such as CO₂ or air pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NO_x) during operation, ensuring a clean power supply. The system’s compact design includes all necessary operating equipment, simplifying installation and achieving one of the smallest footprints in its power output class. It supports the integrated control of up to 16 units, allowing for easy adjustment of operating units and output control based on power demand and available H₂ supply, as well as straightforward expansion to meet decarbonization goals.
