Efforts for Reduction of Energy Consumption

Abstract

Recently the sign of economic recovery began to appear by Abenomics which consists of three policies included bold financial policy. However, after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the energy cost in our plant is increasing more caused by rising of electricity power unit due to the shut down of nuclear power plants and increasing of LNG unit price due to influence of the depreciation of the yen. Accordingly, energy-saving activity is becoming increasingly important for our factory from the point of energy cost reduction. So, in this report, we’d like to introduce our energy-saving activities and actual results of energy cost reduction implemented in the past few years.
