Initiatives for Utilizing Renewable Energy
As part of its initiatives to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in its business activities, Furuya Metal Co., Ltd. is working on initiatives for utilizing renewable energy, such as installing solar power generation equipment and procuring zero-carbon electricity (electric power produced with zero CO₂ emissions).
Since May 2022, the Tsukuba Plant has achieved zero CO₂ emissions in its purchased electricity by procuring electricity that includes a non-fossil certificate.
As a result of these initiatives, the proportion of renewable energy used for electricity purchased by production sites has reached 100%.
In addition, the Tsukuba Plant also started in June 2022 to procure electricity from solar power generation equipment installed at the plant, enabling it to produce 7.43% of the electricity used at the production site.
Going forward, the Company will continue to proactively work on environmental issues in order to realize a carbon-free society.
