A strategic collaboration announced in January 2026 to explore deploying up to 450 MW of fuel-cell power systems for data centers and other mission-critical distributed-power needs globally.

A solid oxide high-temperature plasma glow discharge cell that operates as a regenerative fuel cell, producing hydrogen, water steam, and carbon dioxide from liquid electrolytes. The system features a central hollow cathode achieving temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.

Panasonic Holdings' project to develop innovative alkaline electrolyzers using nanometer-scale nickel and iron catalysts to reduce production costs and increase production efficiency.

Modular hydrogen production systems using solid oxide electrolyzer technology that can operate with renewable energy sources. The systems are designed to be deployed swiftly for industries and sectors difficult to decarbonize, including manufacturing and transportation.

Ammonia produced from green hydrogen and nitrogen, intended for use as a fertilizer and increasingly as a zero-emission maritime fuel.
