Ishikari City’s Efforts to Convert Industrial Parks to RE100

Abstract

The Ishikari City has been selected by the government as a “Leading Decarbonization Region,” a region that is taking advanced local decarbonization initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050. Facing the Sea of Japan, the city has a concentration of renewable energy sources （“renewable energy”）, mainly wind power generation, due to favorable wind conditions and vast land. This paper introduces the city’s efforts to achieve “local production for local use” of renewable energy by utilizing the renewable energy sources concentrated in the region.
