Exhibition highlights
Conceptual exhibitions Panasonic
introduced its vision for the home, towns, and cars that realize "A
Better Life, A Better World," with straightforward exhibits and
demonstrations.
Automotive A life-size model of
a car made of lithium-ion batteries was exhibited. With increasing
awareness for preventing air pollution and protecting the global
environment, the market for lithium-ion batteries designed for
eco-conscious vehicles is expected to grow rapidly.
Homes & Living There was
also an experiential exhibit of the Zero-Eco House, which is a new and
improved version of the net-Zero Energy House (ZEH). There, visitors
could learn about "solar panels + sorage battery systems," "thermal
insulation for the entire home," "ECONAVI equipped ventilation system,
HEPA plus," and the "Smart HEMS," which all help realize eco
performances that go above and beyond zero energy input/output.
Panasonic
also introduced the "ECONAVI," which uses sensor technologies to enable
home appliances to detect wasteful use of energy. Home appliances such
as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines that have been
designed under the concept, "Fudan Premium (daily premium)," as well as
TVs, dishwashers, and microwave ovens were showcased.
Advanced eco technologies This
section introduced Panasonic's initiatives for realizing a hydrogen
society. In addition to "ENE FARM," the residential fuel cell that
extracts hydrogen from city gas, a prototype of a hydrogen fuel cell
(currently under development) that can efficiently create power directly
from hydrogen was on display. Panasonic also introduced sensor devices
that support a hydrogen society, as well as its vision of a carbon-free,
comfortable, and safe hydrogen society.
Recycling resources Panasonic
introduced its recycling activities that are being undertaken under the
concept of "From Products to Products." Panasonic accurately and
simultaneously sorts three types of resin from the shredder dust
generated at recycling plants for home appliances. The extracted resin
is then reused to create new products. The technologies that make this
possible were also on showcase.
