In January 2019, Panasonic Energy Belgium N.V. (PECBE) became Panasonic’s first Zero-CO2 battery factory in the world. The achievement was realized by installing renewable energy power-generation systems, procuring renewable electricity, and utilizing carbon credits to offset CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.
*Zero-CO2 factory:
A factory with virtually zero CO2 emissions by promoting energy conservation, introducing renewable energy, and utilizing carbon credits, etc.
1. Installed a 100-meter-tall wind power generation system in the factory premises (installed in 2016, power generating capacity: 2 MW)
2. Switched all procured electricity to 100% renewable energy sources
3. Switched boilers using fossil fuels to energy-saving-type boilers, and used credits to offset CO2 emissions from fossil fuels
