SINGAPORE, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Certification conferred by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan

- Cooperation launched between H3 Dynamics, Nexty Electronics (Toyota), and

Drone Works.

A hydrogen drone equipped with H3 Dynamics' AEROSTAK hydrogen fuel cell

system(https://www.h3dynamics.com/hydrogen-fuel-cell-systems-for-air-mobility),

developed by Drone Works and with integration support by Nexty Electronics Co.

Ltd., received official approval from the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade

and Industry (MITI) on November 28, 2021.

The cooperation has led to the first certified hydrogen fuel cell multi-rotor

drone test flight in Japan.

The new generation hydrogen drone is equipped with a small composite container

for high-pressure hydrogen developed by JFE Container Co. Ltd. The special

drone-compatible hydrogen fuel cell system is manufactured by H3

Dynamics(https://www.h3dynamics.com/hycopter-hydrogen-powered-multi-rotor-drone)

, who has begun working with Toyota Group member, Toyota Tsusho Nexty

Electronics(

https://www.toyota-tsusho.com/english/company/group/chemical-ele/nexty_electronics.html)

for technical integration in Japan.

Setting up its offices in Tokyo, H3 Dynamics is a global company with locations

in Singapore, Paris, Toulouse and Austin that works on decarbonization of

flight from small drones to large aircraft. The Company has recently closed a

$26M series B financing(

https://e27.co/h3-dynamics-closes-series-b-financing-to-introduce-long-range-hydrogen-air-logistics-solutions-20211019/),

led by Mirai Creation Fund(https://mirai.sparx.co.jp/en/), managed by SPARX

Group and representing the interests of Toyota Corporation and Sumitomo Banking

Corporation (SMBC). The specialist fund specializes in investments relating to

intelligent technologies, robotics, and hydrogen technologies.

By using lightweight hydrogen as the energy source of the drone, it is possible

to fly for a much longer time than with lithium batteries, In addition. In

increasingly large applications, hydrogen offers a stronger environmental

solution to support decarbonization, especially as hydrogen can be produced

from renewable energy or municipal waste.

Leveraging on hydrogen energy further contributes to solving social issues in

line with the government's goal of "realizing carbon neutrality by 2050". The

partner companies believe that the success of this demonstration in Japan opens

the way towards wider adoption of hydrogen in air mobility applications.

Nexty Electronics will continue to strengthen its collaboration with H3

Dynamics in the Japan market. H3 Dynamics has developed world-leading aerial

mobility fuel cell systems for the past 15 years, has launched its first

hydrogen powered drones, with several air cargo

platforms(https://www.h3dynamics.com/hydrogen-fixed-wing-cargo) including

fixed-wing, VTOL and hydrogen refueling accessories(

https://www.h3dynamics.com/electrolyzer-integrated-field-hydrogen-refueling-solutions)

to support zero emission air mobility around the world. H3 Dynamics was

recently chosen by one of the world's largest airport operators Groupe

ADP(https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/group/group-strategy/our-strategy/in-brief)

in Paris to form part of the Paris air mobility ecosystem(

https://www.ratp.fr/en/groupe-ratp/newsroom/innovation/choose-paris-region-groupe-adp-and-ratp-group-announce-winners)

and plans to fly a first hydrogen cargo aircraft in the Paris region in the

early part of 2021.
