DENSO, JERA to Jointly Develop High-Efficiency Hydrogen Generation Technology that Combines SOEC with Waste Heat Utilization and Conduct Joint Demonstration Testing at a JERA Thermal Power Station

KARIYA, Japan, Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DENSO Corporation (“DENSO”), and JERA Co., Inc. (“JERA”) announce that they will jointly develop high-efficiency hydrogen generation technology that combines SOEC*1 with waste heat utilization and conduct joint demonstration testing at a JERA thermal power station.

DENSO for years has pursued initiatives in the three areas of “Monozukuri (manufacturing),” “mobility products” and “energy use” to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. Notably, because hydrogen production will be essential in addressing energy use, the company is applying technology cultivated through the development of automotive systems to the development of the SOEC, which has the advantage of high stability and efficiency.

JERA, under its JERA Zero CO2 Emissions 2050 objective, is taking on the challenge of building a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain as part of its efforts to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from its domestic and international operations by 2050. In thermal power, it is moving forward with the introduction of greener fuels as it pursues zero-emissions thermal that emits no CO2 during power generation.

Using an SOEC (Electrolyzing Power: *2 200kW) developed by DENSO, the two companies will initiate a joint development focusing on high-efficiency hydrogen production technology utilizing waste heat. Beginning in FY 2025, DENSO and JERA will conduct a joint demonstration testing at a JERA thermal power station. Based on the outcomes of the 200kW joint demonstration test, the companies will aim to scale up the technology to a multi-thousand kW level by integrating multiple SOECs.

Through this joint development and joint demonstration testing, the companies will work toward the early establishment of a global supply chain for green hydrogen and ammonia and contribute to finding solutions for global decarbonization and energy issues.

*1 SOEC (Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell): SOECs operate at high temperatures using a ceramic membrane as an electrolyte to electrolyze water vapor and produce hydrogen. While there are other methods for hydrogen production such as alkaline water electrolysis, which uses an alkaline liquid as the electrolyte, and PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis, which uses a polymer membrane as the electrolyte, the SOEC has the feature of requiring less electrical energy for electrolysis compared to these methods.
*2     Electrolyzing Power: Electric power allocated to electrolyzing water.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nest, the flagship RWA staking protocol exclusive to Plume Network, today announced the first tokenized Blackstone ETF vault through its partnership with Dinari. Nest’s new permissionless vault features the Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, and will deliver real world yields to DeFi users once the vault is launched on Plume mainnet. This announcement marks a significant expansion of Dinari’s long-term partnership with Plume, as the established tokenization platform brings institutional-grade assets into the rapidly growing Plume ecosystem.

The first tokenized Blackstone ETF on Plume Network joins Nest’s suite of yield-generating solutions, which includes the Treasuries Vault for professional firms and the High Yield Vault for growth-focused strategies.

“By launching this first-ever tokenized Blackstone ETF vault, we’re creating new opportunities for users to access institutional yields,” said Teddy Pornprinya, Co-founder at Plume. “Our partnership with Dinari transforms traditionally exclusive products into accessible opportunities through permissionless infrastructure.”

Through this latest vault, users who stake stablecoins into a vault on Nest receive yield tokens that appreciate in value as SRLN.d, Dinari’s tokenized version of the SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, generates returns. The ETF provides strong downside protection through floating rate yields indexed to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate).

The vault benefits from SRLN.d’s key features: competitive yields with automatic dividend accrual and reinvestment, full backing by the underlying Blackstone ETF, and guaranteed 1:1 USDC redemption. Blackstone oversees the management of the underlying assets, while Alpaca Securities provides brokerage services for asset transactions.

The floating rate structure provides natural protection against interest rate fluctuations. Blackstone’s ETF is included in a variety of vaults on Nest, where it provides the base level stability and yield. It’s paired with liquidity from yield-bearing stablecoin protocols Mountain and M^0, serving both retail users and liquidity providers.

Nest’s infrastructure has been secured by multiple firms. The protocol’s smart contracts have been audited by SlowMist, while Trail of Bits and Zellic have audited the broader protocol infrastructure. All Nest vaults, including this latest offering, are assessed by institutional risk manager Cicada Partners.

The integration of Dinari’s Blackstone ETF products marks only the beginning of a longstanding collaboration between Nest and Dinari. Future plans include deeper integration through shared global neobank initiatives and expanded access to highly liquid, yield-bearing assets, all powered by Plume’s infrastructure.

This growing partnership will continue to bring institutional-grade investment opportunities to Plume’s expanding ecosystem of protocols and users.

About Nest
Nest is a flagship staking protocol for users to earn RWA yield on their stablecoins. Designed to be a precisionless way for global users to deposit into vaults, the protocol lets fund managers, issuers, and RWA protocols create their own structured offerings. Audited by Trail of Bits and Zellic, Nest leverages Plume’s unique infrastructure to let its global user base participate in traditionally limited asset classes.
