Words from the finalist…
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. are focusing on biogas as a new resource, decided to make new energy that can be used for purposes other than generation plant in a local area, as well as a green LP gas that is resistant to natural disasters. We have performed first demonstration of LP gas production from biogas to prove our concept of the process last year. Using biogas from livestock manure in Tochigi prefecture in Japan, two reactions with our catalysts were continuously performed and Green LP gas could be recovered in actual from the biogas. The Green LP gas was used for the national sports festival in Tochigi-Prefecture in Japan as a symbol fire.
