- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「At the Kyoto Plant, the company switched the boiler fuel from heavy fuel oil to LNG in March 2026. This is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 2,000t annually.」
The company is advancing the introduction of decarbonization facilities through the Kyoto Plant’s conversion to LNG, solar power generation, hydrogen co-firing and heat pumps, with the LNG conversion at the Kyoto Plant expected to reduce emissions by 2,000 tonnes annually. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「At the Nakashibetsu Plant, the company switched the boiler energy source from heavy fuel oil to LNG in October 2024. This is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 5,200t annually.」
The company has disclosed specific operating results and reduction effects for its decarbonization facilities, including the conversion to LNG at the Nakashibetsu Plant, solar power generation at the Kyoto and Ami plants, and the use of biomethane at the Taiki Plant. - FY2024First statedAnnual report
「In May 2023, the company began operating an anaerobic digestion facility at its Taiki Plant that effectively uses whey and residues as energy sources, and is currently adjusting the equipment toward full-load operation. It will also switch the boiler energy source at its Nakashibetsu Plant from heavy fuel oil to LNG.」
The company is implementing specific decarbonization facilities, including an anaerobic digestion facility at the Taiki Plant, an LNG boiler at the Nakashibetsu Plant, solar power generation at the Ebina, Kyoto and Ami plants, and hydrogen co-firing demonstrations.
