Sumitomo Rubber Industries SUMITOMO RUBBER (Thailand), a local subsidiary of Thailand, has a roofed mega solar (large -scale solar power generation equipment) and a gas coherant (thermoelectric) system with an output of about 22 MW. Kansai Electric Power's local subsidiary Kansai Energy Solutions (Thailand) (K-EST) provides energy. On February 21, a contract was concluded to provide environmental value associated with renewable energy.
At the Thai factory in Rayon, Thailand, the K-EST will install 40,000 solar panels and two output of 6.6MW-class gasco jewel facilities by an on-site PPA (power purchase contract) model. We consume all of the generated power and steam in our factory. It is expected to reduce the CO2 reduction of about 38,000 tons a year.
The Ministry of the Environment's Ordinance 4 -year, "Equipment subsidy project among the two -country credit system (JCM) fund support project" was used. According to Kansai Electric Power, as of February 1st, a single -established roofing solar power generation equipment is the largest in the world.
In addition, the power used in the factory will be achieved as a real renewable energy by the international renewable energy non-fossil certificate, which is procured and provided by Kansai Electric Power, to achieve zero carbon. I-REC's procurement is a renewable value of biomass power generation, based on waste materials such as branches and root trunks that make the rubber trees in Thailand, and contributes to sustainable natural rubber initiatives. do.
In August 2021, the Sumitomo Rubber Group formulated a long -term sustainability policy, "Red the Future Challenge 2050". In efforts for Carbon Nuatral, one of the 2050 challenge target themes, it is expected that the target of 50 % reduction in 2030 CO2 emissions set in Scope 1 and 2 will be achieved one year ahead.
