Products for Environment & Energy

Building New Energy Systems for Expanded Use of Renewable Energy

The Sumitomo Electric Group has been active in the environmental and energy sectors, leveraging its wealth of experience and technical expertise to achieve a proven track record of successes. This has become increasingly important in the face of the increased introduction of renewable energy, widespread use of electric vehicles (EV), international grid interconnection projects, primarily in Europe, and infrastructure development in emerging economies.

The Group is thus able to bring its business resources and technical expertise as a general power cable manufacturer to bear on helping build energy systems on a global scale.

Celmet™ Metal Foam

  • Celmet™ is a family of porous metals that have a three-dimensional network structure. In addition to nickel (Ni), alloys such as nickel-chrome (Ni-Cr) and nickel-tin (Ni-Sn) are also used to make Celmet™.
  • Applications of porous metals include positive electrode current collectors for nickel-metal hydride batteries for hybrid vehicles, fuel cell components and electrodes for hydrogen generators, thereby substantially contributing to energy saving and reduced environmental burden.
