Energy Conservation Center Chairman's Award: "Hydrogen-fired absorption water chiller/heater 'RHDH' series"

■Reason for the award: Currently, hydrogen is mainly used to generate electricity through fuel cells, and there are few facilities and devices that use it directly. However, this product makes it possible to produce hot and cold water for air conditioning by directly "using" hydrogen as a fuel. The annual CO2 emissions during use can be reduced by 95% compared to kerosene and 94% compared to city gas, making this a product that is ready for the future CO2-free hydrogen society.
