Ene-farm, a fuel cell cogeneration system for households that uses natural gas, is increasingly being used by the natural gas industry as a counter to electric power companies that promote the complete electrification of homes. Fukuoka City-based Saibu Gas, the largest natural gas company in the region, has been selling the Ene-farm system since June. They’ve already sold more than 20 units, which is ahead of the pace required to meet their target of 100 units for the current fiscal year. Mid-tier regional companies also are preparing to sell the system, which extracts hydrogen from natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, combines it with the oxygen in the air, and creates electricity through the chemical reaction.
