Panasonic and Tokyo Gas through their joint development have released a new model of their “Ene-Farm” home fuel cell, offering a rate generation efficiency of 40%(LHV), the highest in the world to date. The new Ene-Farm fuel cell co-generation systems generate electricity through a chemical reaction between oxygen in the atmosphere and hydrogen extracted from city gas. The generated heat as result of this process is also used for heating home and hot water supply. Due to the fact that electricity is generated and used in the same place, there are no transmission losses, and the heat produced during electricity generation can be then used without any waste.
