Initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions

What is carbon neutral?
This means balancing greenhouse gas emissions and absorption.
In October 2020, the government declared its intention to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, meaning zero overall greenhouse gas emissions."Zero overall emissions" means reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide,"emissions"※From afforestation, forest management, etc."Amount absorbed"※This means subtracting the total to effectively be zero.To achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve and strengthen absorption.

This project will contribute to our hometown by building a supply chain through renewable energy through "wood biomass power generation," which will effectively utilize forests and group-owned forests, mainly in the Mogami area of Yamagata Prefecture, and consume approximately 75,000 tons of fuel chips, with a generating output of 6,800 kW.We will contribute to creating a "circular society" in our hometown by making effective use of local forest resources, regenerating and conserving forests, ensuring a stable supply of electricity, revitalizing the forestry industry, creating jobs, and promoting green energy through carbon neutrality that reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through self-sufficiency in energy.
* The mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, from Mogami to Shonai, and Akita Prefecture, from Yuzawa to Yokote, cover an area of approximately 1,500 hectares.
