Komori Corporation has begun full-scale operation of a solar power generation system at its production base in Nantong, China.
This initiative, aimed at reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and lowering environmental impact through the use of renewable energy, aligns with Komori’s long-term environmental vision – the Komori Eco Vision, which outlines the company’s direction for contributing to a sustainable society built on three key pillars: preventing global warming, supporting a recycling society, and preserving biodiversity.
With an installed capacity of 880 kW and an estimated annual power generation of 900,000 kWh, the project is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 530 tons with a renewable energy ratio in total plant electricity consumption of approximately 70 percent.
Together with the Tsukuba Plant (Ibaraki, Japan) and Komori Machinery Co., LTD. (Yamagata, Japan), the new project forms part of Komori’s three-plant production structure, enabling advanced product supply capabilities and flexible delivery schedules.
Komori Machinery (Nantong) is the Komori Group’s production base in China, manufacturing offset printing presses and related components, primarily for the Greater China market.
