BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 18. INPEX CORPORATION
(INPEX) announced its investment in EneCoat Technologies Co., Ltd.
(EneCoat), a Kyoto University-based startup specializing in the
development of next-generation perovskite solar cells, Trend reports via
INPEX.
Perovskite solar cells, known for their thin-film structure
utilizing perovskite crystal materials, are lauded for their
flexibility and potential to be deployed in locations unsuitable
for traditional renewable energy solutions. This innovation is
expected to significantly broaden the application of renewable
energy power generation. These solar cells use iodine compounds as
raw materials, aligning well with INPEX's operations at the Naruto
Gas Field in Chiba Prefecture, where iodine is extracted from
subsurface brine water following natural gas production.
EneCoat stands out as Japan's sole startup dedicated to
developing perovskite solar cells and related materials. Leveraging
its collaboration with Kyoto University, the company has
established a cutting-edge product development system and is
striving to create high-performance products aimed at
commercialization. INPEX's investment is intended to expand its
iodine supply chain, thereby supporting EneCoat's efforts toward
the mass production of perovskite solar cells.
