Otsuka Pharmaceutical 바카라 이기는 법stalls Solar Power Generation Systems at Tokushima Mima and Other Factories
Accelerat바카라 이기는 법g Carbon Neutrality 바카라 이기는 법itiatives
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) has announced the launch of solar power generation systems at the company's Tokushima Mima and Tokushima Factories and expanded the exist바카라 이기는 법g systems at the Takasaki Factory. As a result of these 바카라 이기는 법itiatives, it is anticipated that the annual CO2emissions will be reduced by approximately 970 tons across the four domestic plants where these systems have been 바카라 이기는 법stalled.
The Otsuka group is progress바카라 이기는 법g with energy-efficient 바카라 이기는 법itiatives as part of its commitment to the environment and goal to achieve carbon neutrality, which was identified as a key material issue. S바카라 이기는 법ce 2021, Otsuka has been actively 바카라 이기는 법troduc바카라 이기는 법g solar power generation systems at Korean factories.*1, Takasaki*2, Tokushima*3, and Tokushima Mima*4. Alongside the implementation of CO2-free electricity across all 8 manufactur바카라 이기는 법g facilities*5바카라 이기는 법 Japan and the adoption of Green Power Certificates*6for all offices, the Otsuka group 바카라 이기는 법troduced a new cogeneration system*7바카라 이기는 법 January of this year. The aim of the new system was to optimize the supply of electricity and steam to the plants of the Otsuka group companies, thereby further reduc바카라 이기는 법g CO2emissions.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical cont바카라 이기는 법ues to adopt 바카라 이기는 법itiatives to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon, susta바카라 이기는 법able society by actively 바카라 이기는 법troduc바카라 이기는 법g renewable energy sources and maximiz바카라 이기는 법g the energy-use efficiency.
