IWATA, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) is happy to announce that it’s going to construct a brand new verification testing facility outfitted with a melting furnace and warmth therapy furnace utilizing hydrogen fuel at its Morimachi Manufacturing unit (Morimachi, Shuchi-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture).

From 2025, we’ll start growth and verification of applied sciences and strategies for melting aluminum alloy utilizing hydrogen fuel, in addition to complete verification testing for requisite services, tools, and extra. By the tip of 2026, we plan to finish the event of applied sciences for melting aluminum alloy and heat-treating solid elements utilizing hydrogen fuel and to progressively implement them at our home and worldwide casting factories from 2027 onward.
This verification testing is a part of Yamaha Motor’s efforts to reduce Scope 11 CO2 emissions throughout the life cycles of our merchandise. Within the manufacture of solid elements for bikes, outboard motors, and different merchandise, and different fossil fuels are presently used to supply the thermal power required for melting aluminum alloys. In our seek for various power sources, we judged that electrification is just not fitted to the melting course of when it comes to power effectivity, because it requires a considerable amount of warmth, so we turned our consideration to hydrogen power, which Yamaha Motor is already learning as an possibility for lowering Scope 32 emissions.
The verification testing itself will embrace inspecting the affect hydrogen fuel has on high quality and growing temperature management strategies utilizing hydrogen burners. We’re additionally contemplating the introduction of apparatus for producing inexperienced hydrogen and methanation equipment3 (by joint analysis with Shizuoka College) to provide e-methane while not having exterior warmth sources. Yamaha Motor will work to develop tools for producing hydrogen fuel at low price in addition to applied sciences for capturing and reusing the CO2 in exhaust gases.
Yamaha Motor, according to its Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Plan 2050, is working towards being carbon neutral4 all through all of its provide chains, together with the corporate’s enterprise actions by 2050. Moreover, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, we have now accelerated our plans to realize carbon neutrality at our manufacturing websites”together with at group firms”by 2035 and are ramping up our efforts to that finish.
