Fujitsu Group's largest facility to source 100% of its energy needs from renewables

1 Comment

In 2018, the Fujitsu Group announced its goal to increase its use of renewable energy in the electricity used in its domestic and international properties to 40% or more by 2030 and 100% by 2050. To date, Fujitsu's introduction of renewable energy has been focused primarily in Europe and the United States, where supply is abundant. However, expanding the introduction of renewable energy in Japan remains an important issue.

As a flagship model for these efforts in Japan, Fujitsu's Kawasaki Main Office, the Fujitsu Group's largest facility, will be fully powered by renewable energy from April 1, with a view to introducing this system on a full scale at its locations throughout Japan. This latest effort accounts for approximately 5% of the Fujitsu Group's electricity consumption in Japan.

Through this and other activities, Fujitsu said it will continuously contribute to the decarbonization of its operations, as well as its customers and society, adapting proactively to the unprecedented threat posed by climate change, as set forth in its medium- and long-term environmental vision.

I was not aware that the indium and tellurium used in solar panels or the rare earth metals used in wind turbine magnets are renewable. To the contrary, I always understood that these are rare elements that are difficult to mine and in highly limited supply.

Renewable indeed. Perhaps if we strip-mined half of China, we could meet global energy needs, but I doubt China (or any country) would allow this degree of environmental destruction.

There are alternative energy sources, but nothing that captures energy and stores it usefully for humans is truly renewable. Some non-renewable element is always used up in the process.
