Tokyu Construction and Teijin Limited announced completion of a trial of hydrogen fuel cell generators as power sources at a site around Tokyo’s Shibuya Station
The successful trial, which ran from late June to mid-July 2023, evaluated reductions of noise and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions achieved by using #hydrogen fuel cell generators instead of conventional gasoline generators. It revealed that the hydrogen fuel cell generators reduced noise from approximately 80 decibels to 60 decibels (*) compared to gasoline generators. It also cut CO2 emissions approximately 6kg (reference range) in ten hours, or more than 1,000 kg per year. This suggests that generators can be used in urban underground parking
The generators were used at the construction site located in Shibuya’s west exit basement underground taxi pool drive to supply electricity for lighting and warning signs during nighttime construction work. They help avoid the issues caused by existing gasoline power generators, which can disturb local residents with unwanted noise, odors and ground vibrations.
