H3 Dynamics-Powered Hydrogen Drone, Now Certified in Japan
PR93523
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(
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(
and plans to fly a first hydrogen cargo aircraft in the Paris region in the
early part of 2021.
