Water usage (m3)【Cooling Water System】Reduction of CO2 emission utilizing hydropower
We organized an Energy Saving Working Group that consists of members from 4 sites in Japan. The
group had been working continuously to improve energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions.
In FY2020, we connected cooling lines without cooling water tank, and reduced pump power byutilizing hydropower.
As the results, we reduced 39.6t-CO2 in the year.
