Initiatives for a Carbon Neutral Society

Efforts to achieve carbon neutrality are essential in responding to the challenge of global warming. In October 2020, Japan declared its intentions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Against this backdrop, companies seeking to achieve sustainable growth must address global warming not just as part of their corporate social responsibilities but also as opportunities for future growth. Togami Electric is implementing a range of initiatives to move toward carbon neutrality, as outlined below.

Renewable Energy

Within the Togami Electric Group, the head office and Togami Metalix generate electricity using solar panels. In 2012, we installed solar panels with a maximum generating capacity of approximately 22 kW on the roof of the head office main building. In 2013, we installed solar panels with a capacity of approximately 50 kW on the roof of the Togami Metalix plant. In 2024, utilizing an on-site PPA scheme, we installed new solar panels with a maximum generating capacity of 252.45 on the roof of a new plant at Togami Metalix.

In addition to installing solar panels, Togami Electric manufactures and sells solar power maintenance and inspection equipment (PV Doctor series).

Our Systems Engineering Department has developed a wastewater treatment system for processing digestate generated during biomass power generation.
