Environment & Energy

Advanced Clean Energy Technology for a Sustainable Society

Based on our commitment to improve the world through renewable energy, we have been developing, manufacturing, and operating solar power generating systems for almost half a century, and we have expanded our energy solutions recently to include battery technologies and related products. In the future, we will continue to develop new solutions that protect our global environment and help achieve a zero-carbon society.

Proprietary Energy Technology Development

Advanced Battery Technologies for Clean Energy

Kyocera is developing three types of battery technologies to create, store, and save energy: solar power cells that create electricity from sunlight, storage batteries that can be used in emergencies and disasters, and high-efficiency SOFCs* that redirect residual energy from power generation to heat water, etc.
In addition, we have developed Li-ion batteries that use clay instead of liquid electrodes for safe, long-lasting batteries at a reasonable price.

*SOFC: Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Products & Solutions

Optimized Regional Energy Management, Tailored to Local Needs

Kyocera is testing an AI-powered energy management system that estimates energy demand and generation for businesses and factories, promoting efficient use of renewables.
We also aim to achieve the development of sustainable smart cities using self-wheeling power transmission*, emergency power systems for disaster relief, and activities for regional development. *A system in which companies, etc. transmit electricity generated in their own power plants in remote locations to their own bases

Environmentally Friendly Product Development

CERAPHIC® LED Lighting

Purple LEDs and RGB fluorescent materials offer brilliant and beautiful lighting in many settings, including art museums and restaurants.
They have advanced color-rendering properties and can produce light close to natural sunlight.
