We are developing liquid Hydrogen booster pumps. A liquid Hydrogen booster pump is a device that supplies liquid Hydrogen to a gas turbine as fuel for power generation. I have been involved in the development of liquid Hydrogen pumps since around 2017, and at that time I was working on it with a team of three. After that, he decided to launch a Hydrogen business in EBARA, and the project expanded. In 2023, we successfully developed the world's first Hydrogen booster pump for Hydrogen power generation. Even now, we are working as a team consistently from element development to real solution testing of pumps.

It is very rewarding to be involved in the still unknown field of liquid Hydrogen. It's fun to be involved in a wide range of pumps, from design to experimentation and commercialization. The Hydrogen Society is by no means a "pipe dream in the distant future". The success of the pump development mentioned above and the testing and development center for liquid Hydrogen products launched by EBARA have proven that we are getting closer to a Hydrogen society step by step. I am happy to be able to engage in work with a high degree of social contribution, and I feel that I can grow as I can see various processes.

Currently, the world is working to realize a decarbonized society. Our Hydrogen business is one of them. If we can create an "environmentally friendly society" in the future, I hope that EBARA will become an indispensable presence. In addition to the technologies and products that support the current social infrastructure, EBARA is also focusing on a wide range of new businesses such as Hydrogen and Ammonia, Aerospace, and Land-based Aquaculture. We are a company that is proactive in taking on challenges, so let's become a part of it and work together to support the foundation of society!
