TOKYO -- Japanese chemicals company Asahi Kasei is boosting capacity for "green hydrogen" production equipment while materials giant Toray Industries looks to increase output of a key component in such devices, as they seek to secure a foothold in the field early on.
Asahi Kasei seeks to commercialize electrolysis equipment, or electrolyzers, tapping technology from its alkaline water electrolyzers. A pilot plant comes fully onstream this spring in Kawasaki, near Tokyo, as the company aims to start orders in 2025.
