(4) Hydrogen society today
We will explain about how hydrogen is used in various places such as in cities and homes, etc.
This is an animation about the various places in a city where hydrogen energy is used.
(1)Electricity is generated with reusable energy such as solar or wind power, etc.
(2) The excess electricity is used to make and store hydrogen.
(3) The hydrogen created supplies fuel-cell vehicles at hydrogen stations.
(4) Hydrogen energy only produces water, so using it gives cities cleaner air.
(5) Hydrogen is made from city gas, and fuel cells for supplying electricity and heat to homes or for commercial use are growing increasingly common.
(6) During emergencies, fuel-cell vehicles can supply homes or hospitals with electricity.

Smart House
This activity envisions a house that can use and manage household energy efficiently. This smart house features solar panels, rechargeable batteries and "Ene-Farm" household fuel.
You can see the flow of electricity by pushing the button. You can watch videos that explain about hydrogen energy on the TV.
Ene-Farm extracts hydrogen from gas and generates electricity for the house. The heat generated by creating that electricity is also used to make hot water. Very little energy is wasted, achieving an environmentally-friendly way of living.
