Osaka Gas believes that technologies serve as the foundation of corporate competitiveness, and considers R&D to be one of the most important elements in the strategy to make a difference.
For this reason, Osaka Gas works actively on R&D and commercialization of new technologies, as presented below.
Next-generation energy system
Experimental condominiums built with a theme to solve the problems of saving energy and environmental conservation while maintaining comfortable life style.
- “Smart Energy House” for optimizing home energy use toward achieving a low-carbon society
- “Smart Energy Building” for optimizing energy use in a community by connecting cogeneration systems via a telecommunications net
- Compact on-site hydrogen generator HYSERVE
etc.
Co-generation system for residential use
System to generate power by taking hydrogen from city gas and causing chemical reaction with oxygen.
- residential polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) cogeneration system
- residential solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system
etc.
Gas appliance/system for business/industrial use
We are conducting research and development to promote energy business including popularization of gas co-generation system.
etc.
Gas supply technology
We are conducting research and development aiming at the maintenance and improvement of security level of conduits and reduction of their construction costs.
etc.
Gas manufacturing, upstream technology
We are conducting development of diagnosis/evaluation technology for LNG manufacturing facility to secure safe operation and stable supply.
- Development and Construction of large-capacity Full containment LNG tank
- Cryogenic power generation system recovering LNG's cryogenic energy and generating power for energy and CO2 emission savings
- Compact synthesis gas production process for saving CO2 emissions, AATG process
etc.
Environmental/non-energy technology
We are conducting minimization of 2 emissions by optimal energy use, effective energy use, and development of eco-friendly energy.
- Low-concentration coal mine methane concentration technology to make efficient use of coal mine methane gas released into the atmosphere
- Energy-creating wastewater treatment process: hydrothermal gasification process
etc.
