Kuradashi, which aims to decarbonise small and mid-sized food companies, has proposed using battery storage. It aims to contain selling, general and administrative expenses by leveraging its customer base, and examples include Daito Trust Construction's connection of a large-scale battery to a residential district and moves to introduce sodium-ion batteries.
Kuradashi is proposing the use of battery storage as part of its efforts to promote decarbonisation and address food loss. The article discusses efforts to reduce operating costs and ensure a stable supply for small food-related companies through the introduction of battery storage.
Regarding the introduction of sodium-ion batteries, the article features battery storage operated by Energy Flow in Date, Hokkaido, and describes an initiative targeting 200 MWh.
As an example of district-scale battery storage, Daito Trust Construction's initiative in a ZEH town in Chiba City is cited. The project connects approximately 330 households and aims to self-supply 80% of their electricity.
Looking ahead, the article reports that Thailand's Minister of Industry has expressed expectations for the joint deployment of decarbonisation technologies in neighbouring countries through the JCM.
