Clean Planet announced that it has been selected for the Innovation Promotion Project for Achieving Zero Emission Tokyo (Zero Emission Category) implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The grant of 1 billion yen (about $6.7 million) will be used to advance and scale the company’s clean energy modules.
The Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy, launched in May 2019, aims to create highly impactful new businesses by subsidizing the expenses required for commercialization and market expansion of innovative products and services developed by startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Tokyo, while contributing to the realization of Zero Emission Tokyo.
Clean Planet applied and was selected in the Zero Emission category for developing a prototype Quantum Hydrogen Energy (QHe) heat generation device. QHe is a new source of clean and safe fusion energy that utilizes the behavior of electrons within engineered nano-metal structures to enable fusion.
Unlike the usual hot fusion, which requires temperatures around 200 million degrees Fahrenheit, QHe fusion occurs at just 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, thanks to electron-mediated effects that lower the energy barrier for fusion. And since QHe is also safe and does not emit any radiation, it is gaining attention as a game-changer in the transition to a carbon-neutral society.
The company obtained 117 patents in 23 countries worldwide through previous research, positioning it as a leader in the global development race in this field. And Clean Planet is working on the practical application of heat generation technology independently developed within a collaborative research division at Tohoku University.
