Tsunami countermeasures
The official prefectural estimate for maximum tsunami height is 3.1 meters, but thesite is protected by a dike rising to 7 meters above sea level, topped by a protective
forest, stretching around the entire 2300-meter perimeter of the site.
To further minimize the effect of flooding, major facilities are mounted on raised
foundations.
Power is provided by two separate lines from the commercial power grid, along witha dual-fuel emergency power generation facility. A mobile generator can also beconnected to the terminal power system if other supplies are inoperable.

The entire site is surrounded by a dike

We aim to become an environmental symbiosis base where people,
nature and society are harmonized in a rich nature environment.
Coexistencewith nature
Oak seedlings, nurtured
from acorns collected by
the employees of the Saibu
Gas group, together with
their families and othervolunteers, and other trees
have been planted to create
the Hibiki forest, with about
120,000 trees. Oak saplings
nurtured on the facility
nursery are also provided
to greenery events in thecommunity.

Wind power generation

Solar power cells and heat collection
panels are mounted on the roof of theOffice, generating electricity and hotwater.

Water power generation

Wind turbines driven by the strong
ocean winds generate electric power.

A microhydroelectric generator mounted
in the seawater discharge from the LNG
vaporizer generates electricity from thewater flow.
