Teledyne Deploys Hydrogen Generator at JTEKT's Carbon Neutral Plant in Japan

Teledyne Energy Systems has deployed its Titan™ EL Series hydrogen generator at JTEKT Corporation's carbon neutral plant in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, marking a significant step in industrial decarbonization. The alkaline water electrolysis system produces high-purity hydrogen on site to power burner-based aluminum melting and holding furnaces used in die-casting operations, replacing the company's historical reliance on liquefied natural gas.

The hydrogen generator delivers approximately 112,000 Nm³ of hydrogen annually, enabling JTEKT to transition from fossil fuel-based combustion to a low-emission alternative. The facility operates a fully integrated hydrogen cycle, with the system handling production, storage, transportation, and utilization entirely on site.

According to Teledyne, the project is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by an estimated 56 metric tons per year through the combined use of renewable grid electricity, on-site solar power, and efficient hydrogen utilization. Barbara Stachowiak, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Energy Systems, stated that the deployment demonstrates how on-site green hydrogen production can be integrated into demanding industrial environments to support carbon neutral operations.
