Venture company in Takaoka City: Al Hitech
Al Hitech, founded in 2013.
We have developed a technology that enables power generation by generating hydrogen from aluminum and supplying it to a fuel cell.
Utilizing “aluminum scrap”:
Aluminum scraps that had to be disposed of until now. We created a device that “boils a hot spring” by generating hydrogen energy from scrap aluminum.
What is the advanced decarbonization technology “hot spring package”?
Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture: “Mon Rak Takaoka”
In Takaoka City, we started a project to warm the source from 30°C to 45°C.
Hydrogen is generated from “aluminum garbage that should be thrown away” and the energy is used to boil water.
“Onsen package”:
Hydrogen is produced by combining aluminum scraps from metal processing with a special alkaline solution.
The hydrogen is used as a heat source to boil water.
Using 8 kg of aluminum per hour, hydrogen is generated.
We succeeded in “heating the source of 100 liters per minute from 30 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius”.

It is said that it can also be used in a large public bath at a ryokan.
Juice and beer in aluminum cans are thrown out as garbage every day.
It’s great that it can be reused again.
I think people in the hotel industry will be happy if we put it into practical use.
