Yamaha has a carbon neutral target for its factories – including those outside Japan – to accelerate to 2025. That’s a huge leap of 15 years from the Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Plan 2050 presented last July.
To achieve this new goal, Yamaha will drive initiatives aimed at minimizing energy consumption and relying on cleaner energy.
The expected result of these measures by 2035 is a 92% reduction in CO2 emissions (compared to 2010) from production activities at Yamaha Motor’s domestic and international plants.
In addition, the remaining carbon emissions will be countered by internationally recognized methods to implement the company’s plan to achieve carbon neutrality in all its factories.
Yamaha believes that minimizing energy consumption in the factories will be achieved by recognizing only energy needed to make products as valuable and all other types of energy as a goal for improvement, moving to machines that use less energy and turning machines off automatically. to switch with the aim of zero standby time.
In terms of clean energy, Yamaha is talking about introducing renewable energy sources and promoting fossil-free fuels.
From July 2022, Chuba Electric Power will switch to hydroelectric power in all facilities and workshops under the jurisdiction of the headquarters.
Other Japanese and international companies under the Yamaha umbrella are gradually making the switch to CO2-free power consumption, aiming for CO2-free electricity by 2030.
Yamaha continues to install solar panels to increase the share of self-generated electricity and drive the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources by introducing electric versions of industrial furnaces and other heat-generating factory equipment, steam-free air conditioning and more.
