The cutting-edge solid oxide fuel cell\u00a0is capable of high-efficiency power generation and will potentially revolutionise Nissan\u2019s production plants, enabling them to become carbon neutral.<\/p>\n
Nissan\u2019s goal is to achieve carbon neutrality across all operations and fully electrify plants by 2050<\/a>, generating all electricity from renewable sources and alternative fuels.<\/p>\n Trials of the solid oxide fuel cell system are now underway at the company\u2019s Tochigi Plant in Japan, aiming to boost power generation capacity toward full-scale operation from 2030.<\/p>\n Kazuhiko Murata, corporate vice president responsible for Powertrain Production Engineering and Development, commented: \u201cThere are major changes occurring in the transition from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cNissan is taking up various technological development challenges in new areas, and solid oxide fuel cell\u00a0power generation is one of our strengths.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will continue to contribute to the promotion of electrification and efforts toward carbon neutrality with Nissan-unique, innovative technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n Nissan became the first automaker in the world to develop a vehicular propulsion system powered by a solid oxide fuel cell run by bioethanol in 2016.<\/p>\n Now, the company is leveraging this technology to create large-scale stationary power generation systems.<\/p>\nHow do solid oxide fuel cells work?<\/h3>\n
