TOKYO, June 6, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), a company engaged in the industrial precious metals business of TANAKA, has received the 2025 Technology Award from the Catalyst Manufacturers Association, Japan (CMAJ) for development and practical application of electrode catalysts for PEM water electrolysis. Ikkei Arima, from TANAKA accepted the award and gave an acceptance speech at the CMAJ award ceremony held on June 5.PEM water electrolysis as an important technology for realizing a carbon-neutral societyGreater use of renewable energy is necessary for realizing a carbon-neutral society. A key challenge with renewable energy lies in the inability to control the timing of power generation. For instance, solar energy can be harnessed only during daylight hours and is dependent on clear weather conditions, limiting its availability when sunlight is insufficient. One way to avoid this timing issue is “power-to-gas” (P2G), a technology that is gaining attention recently. It utilizes technologies such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis to generate and store hydrogen by leveraging surplus electricity from renewable or alternative energy sources. The stored hydrogen can then be used as a clean power source when demand arises. Therefore, PEM water electrolysis is an important technology for realizing both power-to-gas technology and carbon neutrality.New catalyst technology to solve technological problem of hydrogen crossover in PEM water electrolysisThe 2025 Technology Award was granted for the development and practical application of electrode catalysts for PEM water electrolysis, recognizing a newly developed and commercialized dual-functional catalyst working as both an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst and gas recombination catalyst (GRC). This new catalyst technology succeeds in solving hydrogen crossover, a technological problem in the PEM water electrolysis process, by efficiently lowering the hydrogen concentration on the anode side of a water electrolysis reaction while maintaining high electrolysis efficiency.Hydrogen crossover poses a significant safety risk, as hydrogen (H2) produced at the cathode during water electrolysis can permeate the proton exchange membrane (PEM) and migrate to the anode side, where it may come into contact with oxygen (O2), creating a potential hazard for explosion or fire. Hydrogen crossover has been conventionally controlled by using thicker membranes, but the problem was that resistance increased as membrane thickness increased, which resulted in less efficient electrolysis. Use of this newly developed catalyst enables thinner membranes to be used to significantly improve both safety and electrolysis efficiency. Having been successfully mass produced, this catalyst is now available for customers in Japan and overseas. With a focus on this technology, TANAKA will contribute to realizing a carbon-neutral society, which will become increasingly important going forward.2025 Technology Award from Catalyst Manufacturers Association, JapanCategory: Technology AwardRecipients: Ikkei Arima, Saki Konaka, Mitsuharu Fujita, Mizuki Ito, and Tatsuhiro Yamashita, TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.Recognition: Development and practical application of electrode catalysts for PEM water electrolysis*Catalyst Manufacturers Association, Japan, was founded by companies manufacturing catalysts, producing catalyst-related materials, and dealing with catalyst products to promote the sound development of Japan’s catalyst industry.

KAWASAKI, Japan, June 4, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited today announced that global communications service provider (CSP) Orange S.A. has completed a successful lab evaluation of the 1FINITY T900 Series Transponder. Evaluation of the 1FINITY T900 solution demonstrated outstanding performance at 800Gigabits per second (Gbps) wavelengths over long distance with low power consumption, enabling affordable and sustainable optical transport.Faced with escalating data demands and rising costs, network operators are challenged to transport more traffic at a lower cost per bit. In addition, this imperative is further compounded by high energy costs and environmental sustainability goals, as many network operators seek to reduce power consumption for a lower overall carbon footprint.With traditional transponder designs, increased transmission rates result in higher energy consumption, making long-distance transport more costly. In their evaluation at the Orange Innovation Labs in Lannion, France, Orange found that power consumption of the 1FINITY T900 transponder remained low and constant across all transmission rates, achieving a transport distance of at least 1600 km at 800Gbps with power consumption below 150 Watts.The trial demonstrates the potential for even greater long-haul transport distance and capacity without increased power consumption. This significant energy efficiency improvement is enabled by Fujitsu’s unique closed-loop liquid cooling technology. Combined with its capability to support up to 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) per wavelength, this liquid-cooled transponder offers increased spectral efficiency for optimum capacity and reach. This results in a lower overall cost per bit per km, reduced operating costs, and improved sustainability.“As one of the world’s leading network operators, Orange is committed to deploying reliable, resilient, high-performance and secure networks to deliver a superior customer experience in all the communities we serve,” said Houmed Ibrahim, Optical Transport Innovation leader at Orange. “Toward that end, we continually seek out high-performance solutions from trusted suppliers, such as Fujitsu, that allow us to achieve our network performance goals with minimal power consumption, improving sustainability while helping to reduce total business costs.”“Consuming up to 70 percent less power at 800Gbps wavelengths, Fujitsu's 1FINITY T900 solution empowers extreme scale and hyper-reliable terabit performance, enabling long-haul networking between any two points within continental Europe,” said Hideki Matsui, head of Photonics System Business Unit at Fujitsu. “This successful trial provides assurance that the 1FINITY T900 transponder is a reliable solution for enhancing the performance and energy efficiency of optical infrastructure, helping network operators address the dual challenge of transporting more traffic at a lower cost per bit to meet both business and sustainability goals.”Fujitsu will establish a new company, 1FINITY Inc., on July 1, consolidating its network business products and operations into one entity. This move will speed and strengthen delivery of high-quality, high-performance optical and wireless solutions on a global scale, while contributing to the advancement of the digital society and realization of a more sustainable future.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
