The TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd has made an investment into Clean Planet Inc. in order to enhance its participation in the area of next generation energy technology and material innovations.
The Tokyo headquartered companies are going to work together using Clean Planet Inc.’s proprietary technology of Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe). This new technology might prove valuable in supporting carbon-neutral energy systems in the future.
Growing interest in stable and sustainable energy:
Increasing activities related to achieving carbon neutrality result in growing interest in technologies which would allow generating stable and sustainable energy. The startups which operate both in Japan and overseas are intensively working on researching and developing next generation energy solutions.
TANAKA plans to rely on its experience in surface engineering, analytical technologies and evaluations in order to support future materials development. Moreover, the company plans to find possible synergies of Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe) with TANAKA technologies.
Potential for sustainable innovation:
“The pursuit of building sustainable futures requires breakthrough technologies, materials expertise and partnerships. Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe), created by Clean Planet, is an innovative approach in the field of next generation energy technologies. With our investment, we will be able to utilise our longstanding expertise in unleashing the potential of precious metals to generate value and contribute to the creation of a sustainable future,” said Kazuharu Yoshida, Head of People & Culture Design Division, Managing Corporate Officer, TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.
“Clean Planet is honored to receive the investment from TANAKA, the global leader of precious metal materials technologies. QHe is a revolutionary energy technology with great potential in transforming the method of energy production and usage and making a tremendous contribution to the sustainable society. In order to realise the vision, we need to combine innovative energy technologies with top-notch materials and manufacturing technologies. Our partnership is one of the key steps in commercialising and deploying QHe throughout the globe,” said Hideki Yoshino, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Clean Planet Inc.
Future commercialisation support:
This collaboration is the next step in TANAKA’s attempts to expand its technological portfolio beyond the scope of precious metal products. Moreover, the cooperation helps Clean Planet to advance Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe) towards its commercialisation.
TANAKA announced its intention to continue the search for advanced materials innovation and expansion of its presence in new industries in order to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2085.
