Case Studies

Reducing Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Emissions and Boosting Energy Intensity

Fujitsu Frontech Co., Ltd. introduced and began the use of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), an environmentally friendly power generation system, at the Kumagaya Service Solution Center (Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture; hereafter, Kumagaya SSC). It is the first domestic example of fuel cells being introduced in the Fujitsu Group in japan.

The Kumagaya SSC provides services that require 24/7 operation, including outsourcing services for financial institutions and help desk services for distribution centers. As a result of examining the compatibility between BCP measures for major services and an environmentally friendly power supply, Fujitsu Frontech Co., Ltd. introduced Bloom Energy Japan, Limited’s fuel cell power generation system, which makes it possible to secure a stable power supply even in the event of power supply interruptions due to natural disasters, etc., and can reduce CO₂ emissions.

By introducing this system, approximately 50% of the electricity consumed by the Kumagaya SSC can be covered by fuel cells, which is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 35% per year (in comparison to FY 2018), compared to a situation where all necessary electricity is procured from power companies.

Through the promotion of energy conservation and the use of clean energy, we will continue to reduce CO₂ emissions and contribute to the continued development of the company, as well as the realization of a sustainable society and environment.
