Case Studies
Torrefied pellet co-firing at a major domestic factory (Kanto region)
Torrefied pellets are mixed and burned as an alternative to coal. This significantly reduces CO₂ emissions while reducing the burden on the boiler by reducing the Na, K, and Si components. This allows for a transition to sustainable power generation while utilizing existing coal-fired power plants.
Coal ratio reduced by 20%, reducing annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 10,000 tons
Case study of sodium-ion battery introduction at a food factory in the Kansai region
Sodium-ion batteries were introduced to ensure stable power supply required for the production lines within the factory.
Compared to lithium batteries, they are safer and more cost-competitive, contributing to reduced power consumption during peak hours and stable operation.
Stabilizing power supply on the manufacturing line eliminates the risk of production stoppages and reduces costs by 2% per year
Case study of introducing a heat storage system to a food factory in western Japan
The heat storage system increases the efficiency of the steam and cooling energy required in large quantities on food processing lines.
By utilizing surplus electricity at night to store heat and provide a stable supply during daytime operation, we have simultaneously reduced electricity costs and CO₂ emissions.
Reduced peak power usage by 15%, reducing annual costs by approximately 5 million yen
Example of e-fuel trial implementation at a domestic logistics company (Kanto region)
Synthetic fuels made from renewable energy-derived hydrogen and CO₂ can be used in conventional fuel infrastructure, and are attracting attention as a next-generation energy source that will support the transition to a carbon-neutral society in the transportation and industrial sectors.
Reduce vehicle CO₂ emissions by approximately 30%, promoting decarbonization of logistics
Case study of long-term discharge type grid storage battery installation at a major energy company in the Kanto region
In order to absorb output fluctuations from large-scale renewable energy sources, we introduced grid storage batteries capable of long-term discharge. This provides a stable supply of power even at night or on cloudy days, contributing to expanding the proportion of renewable energy and strengthening the resilience of the power grid.
Absorbs fluctuations in renewable energy output and reduces the risk of power outages by 30%
Microgrid demonstration case in a local government
By combining renewable energy with storage batteries, we built a microgrid that can supply electricity even during disasters, contributing to the safety and security of local residents.
It can supply power for up to 72 hours even during a power outage.
