Home de Energy Saving NEXT
Energy saving actions that can be done at home, what should we do specifically? Recommended for those who like that!
Mr. Otsuka, an energy-saving adviser who received the Minister of the Environment Award for cooperating with the shooting of "Home de Energy Saving," said Mr.
Introducing energy-saving actions that can be tackled at home and their points! Let's do "home de energy saving" together!
Home appliances Energy Conservation
It's surprising that four home appliances account for about half of household electricity! What is the home appliance? The answer is in the video!
Lifestyle section
Seasons are the key to saving energy in everyday life! I will tell you the difference between summer and winter ideas!
Switching to Renewable Energy Electricity
Relationship between Electricity and Global Warming
Approximately 50% of carbon dioxide, which is the main cause of global warming, is emitted by the use of electricity.
Why do you use "electricity" emits carbon dioxide because of the power generation method.
Approximately 80% of Japan's electricity generated uses fossil fuels, such as natural gas, coal, and oil.
Fossil fuels emit a large amount of carbon dioxide during thermal power generation.
In other words, the more electricity you use, the more global warming will be.
On the other hand, "renewable energy" such as solar and wind do not emit carbon dioxide when power is generated.
Why don't you make the electricity used at home "environmentally friendly electricity" made from renewable energy?

※Even if you choose environmentally friendly electricity, there is a limit to the supply of renewable energy.
It is also important to continue energy saving, such as power saving.
Power liberalization Contact Service
From April 2016, entry into the electricity retail business has been fully liberalized (complete liberalization of electricity retailing), and each of us can now choose a power company or price menu.

Solar power generation
Solar power (Joint Purchasing Campaign for Photovoltaic Power Generation and Storage Battery)
"Sunlight to everyone's house" is a joint purchase campaign that allows you to purchase and install "solar panels" and "storage batteries" by taking advantage of economies of scale by recruiting purchasers and placing orders in bulk.
You can decide whether to actually purchase it after a field survey or final estimate.
It contributes to global warming countermeasures and helps secure electricity in the event of a disaster. Please register for participation first and consider it.
