Fuel Cell Technology for Domestic Built Environment Applications: State Of-The-Art Review
FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY FOR DOMESTIC BUILT ENVIRONMENT APPLICATIONS: STATE OF-THE-ART REVIEW Theo Elmer*, Mark Worall, Shenyi Wu and Saffa Riffat Architecture, Climate and Environment Research Group The University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD (UK) *corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fuel cells produce heat when generating electricity, thus they are of particular interest for combined heat and power (CHP) and combined cooling heat and power (CCHP) applications, also known as tri-generation systems. CHP and tri-generation systems offer high energy conversion efficiency and hence the potential to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions. This paper serves to provide a state-of-the-art review of fuel cell technology operating in the domestic built environment in CHP and tri-generation system applications. The review aims to carry out an assessment of the following topics: (1) the operational advantages fuel cells offer in CHP and tri-generation system configurations, specifically, compared to conventional combustion based technologies such as Stirling engines, (2) how decarbonisation, running cost and energy security in the domestic built environment may be addressed through the use of fuel cell technology, and (3) what has been done to date and what needs to be done in the future. The paper commences with a review of fuel cell technology, then moves on to examine fuel cell CHP systems operating in the domestic built environment, and finally explores fuel cell tri-generation systems in domestic built environment applications. The paper concludes with an assessment of the present development of, and future challenges for, domestic fuel cells operating in CHP and tri-generation systems.

Business Development of the Osaka Gas Group
Business Development of the Osaka Gas Group [Domestic Energy Businesses] [Overseas Energy Businesses along the Energy Value Chain] [Environment and Non-energy Businesses] Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. 23 Domestic Energy Businesses [ Gas Business ] Characteristics of the Japanese Gas Industry ■ Although more than 200 gas companies exist in Japan, the majority of domestic gas sales volume comprises the gas sales volumes of a few major gas suppliers. ■ The industry’s supply of LNG, the primary source of natural gas, is almost completely dependent upon imports. ■ In contrast to many other countries, Japan does not have any international gas pipelines or gas pipe- lines interlinked nationally. ■ The natural gas business is operated in an integrated manner, from import to transmission, storage, distribution and sales. Special Qualities of Natural Gas Compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas has a much smaller impact on the environment. In addition, natural gas is more abundant than oil and, unlike oil, natural gas reserves are not concentrated in specific geographical locations. In particular, because of its environmental advantages, demand for natural gas as a more environmentally friendly energy resource is expected to increase in the future, reflecting increasing public concerns and awareness about the environment.

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Overview
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Note: New content has been inserted in red, italicized, bold font. Overview A powerful 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11 at 1446 local time (0546 GMT), unleashing massive tsunami waves that crashed into Japan’s northeastern coast of Honshu, the largest and main island of Japan, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. According to the Government of Japan (GoJ), as of Friday (April 1), 11,734 people are confirmed dead and 16,375 people are reported to be missing. (Kyodo, Reuters, April 1) There are no new figures for the number of injured, but the UN reported last week that 2,766 people 1 were injured. Casualty numbers are likely to increase as emergency teams continue to reach and assess affected areas. The earthquake sparked widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the shallow quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 km) (20 km deep according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency), around 80 miles (125 km) off the eastern coast of Japan, and 240 miles (380 km) northeast of Tokyo. Key Concerns: • There are more than 166,000 evacuees. • UN says priority needs remain: fuel, prefabricated housing, clothing and medicine. Request for international assistance Japan has asked for international help to deal with the disaster and has so far received offers of assistance from 134 countries and 33 international organizations. It has accepted relief items from 24 countries to date. According to OCHA, the GoJ says the need for further international assistance is limited and any support should be in accordance with the GoJ’s criteria.

Japan's Gas and Electricity Market Reform: the Third Revolution
JAPAN'S GAS AND ELECTRICITY MARKET REFORM: THE THIRD REVOLUTION Hiroshi Hashimoto Institute of Energy Economics, Japan - IEEJ Disclaimer: This paper is prepared for general informational purposes only and is not intended to influence any specific actions. Views expressed this paper are the author's ones but do not represent the organisation's ones. Japan's city gas and electric power industries are undergoing unprecedented but somewhat anticipated structural changes brought about by the recent regulatory restructuring. The process in fact dates back as far as 1995, when gas sales to the largest industrial customers were opened for competition. The ensuing regulatory measures have been considered and implemented extremely carefully so as not to jeopardise security of supply at affordable prices to end consumers in a country who does not have a lot of energy production within its territory. During the period the country's LNG market has successfully grown to be the largest and the most diversified in the world in terms of volumes, as well as numbers of both supply sources, importers and their receiving facilities, incorporating great flexibility in procurement with around 30% of the total volumes coming from short-term contracts and spot cargo purchases supplementing the main-stream long-term purchase contracts. In the latest stage of the industry restructuring, as the retail markets are opened for competition, city gas and electric power companies are entering into each other's home grounds by taking advantage of their own muscles and expertise, leading to the most unique, realistic and useful competition in the energy consuming market in the world.
