Oval’s Initiatives for a Hydrogen Society

In recent years, there has been a strong need to significantly raise greenhouse gas reduction targets and goals for introducing non-fossil energy sources. As a clean energy resource that emits no carbon dioxide, the use of hydrogen is rapidly expanding. At Oval, we are committed to contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society through our long-standing expertise in measurement technology.

About Hydrogen

Hydrogen energy refers to the use of hydrogen (H₂) as an energy source. Because hydrogen does not emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) when burned, it is considered a clean energy that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we introduce the basic knowledge of hydrogen energy.

About the Hydrogen Real-Gas Flow Calibration Facility "H₂Lab"

The completion ceremony for the hydrogen real-gas flow calibration facility "H₂Lab" was held on February 24, 2026, marking its official opening. This rare domestic facility enables calibration of flow meters at high flow rates using actual hydrogen gas.
What is the importance of "calibration" in hydrogen measurement, and what new "added value" does this facility bring?
We spoke with Takeshi Wakamatsu, Head of the Inspection Department, to learn more.

Introducing Oval’s Flow Meters for Hydrogen Measurement

Hydrogen is being promoted as a clean energy resource that emits
no CO₂. Oval offers a wide range of flow meters for hydrogen measurement, capable of handling everything from very low to high flow rates. We specialize in high-pressure hydrogen flow meters used in hydrogen dispensers for fuel cell vehicles, contributing to
the realization of a hydrogen society with our extensive experience and reliable technology.
