First written in FY2021. 6 of 7 entries say "Advanced", first in FY2022. Latest entry: FY2026.
1 other company's latest entry also says "Advanced".
- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「1) Testing of the combustion and NOx emission characteristics of both city gas and hydrogen in a test furnace using the 580 kW scale-up prototype confirmed that it had performance equivalent to the 230 kW 20S model, and it was therefore deemed complete.」
Hydrogen burner development progressed to the completion of the 580 kW model, final confirmation of the 175 kW model and ongoing development of the 1,200 kW class, marking concrete progress toward a product series and larger models. - 2026-06-03AdvancedGeneral Meeting of Shareholders
「As achieving carbon neutrality has become an urgent issue for the industry as a whole, we will seek to establish technological superiority in next-generation fuels, including hydrogen and ammonia.」
水素バーナの開発・実証に続き、水素・アンモニアなど次世代燃料対応で技術的優位性の確立を目指す方針が記載されている。 - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「The aforementioned JSA-20S, delivered to a customer's commercial facility in 2023, also underwent a demonstration test in which the fuel was switched from city gas to hydrogen, confirming that it could operate on 100% hydrogen fuel.」
Operation of the JSA-20S using 100% hydrogen fuel was confirmed at a customer's commercial facility. Testing of a 580 kW model in a test furnace is also under way. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「The company developed and began selling the JSA-20S bi-fuel burner, which can burn both conventional city gas and hydrogen without replacing components. The new burner was adopted for a demonstration test to switch the fuel from city gas to hydrogen at AICHI STEEL CORPORATION's Kariya Plant as part of its drive toward carbon neutrality, and trial operation using hydrogen was scheduled for summer 2024.」
The hydrogen burner reached the start of sales of a bi-fuel model capable of burning city gas and hydrogen without component replacement, and was adopted for a demonstration test at a customer plant. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「The company developed and began selling a new hydrogen burner, the JSA-20S. The new hydrogen burner has been adopted for a demonstration test to switch the fuel from city gas to hydrogen at AICHI STEEL CORPORATION's Kariya Plant as part of its drive toward carbon neutrality.」
Hydrogen burner development progressed to the start of sales, and the burner was adopted for a carbon-neutrality demonstration at a customer plant. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「By controlling mixing near the burner of a hydrogen-fuel burner, NOx emissions can now be reduced to a practically viable level, although further improvements are planned.」
The hydrogen burner development reached the stage at which NOx emissions can be reduced to a practically viable level through mixing control near the burner. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「In response to the government's international commitment to achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, the adoption of carbon-free fuels by industry is expected to gain momentum. To address this trend, the company planned to begin developing hydrogen burners jointly with customer companies from fiscal 2021.」
A new R&D theme was presented to adapt existing burners to hydrogen fuel and improve their NOx emission characteristics through joint development with customer companies.
