BIOTECHWORKS-H2<\/strong> has entered into a collaboration with Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture<\/strong>, to launch the development of a demonstration plant that converts waste materials such as tree branches into hydrogen and electricity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing ceremony was held on July 22<\/strong> at Nanto City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Yasushi Tanaka<\/strong> of Nanto City remarked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels like a dream to be able to turn waste into energy. I hope this initiative will expand throughout Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our CEO, Akihide Nishikawa<\/strong>, commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe technology envisioned in films forty years ago still hasn\u2019t been realized. I believe it\u2019s my mission to make that dream come true. Starting from Nanto, we aim to expand across Japan and change the world \u2014 to create an era where waste becomes energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
