Home de Energy Saving NEXT
What should I do to save energy at home, what should I do specifically? I recommend it to you!
Mr. Otsuka, an energy saving adviser who received the Minister of the Environment Award for cooperating with the shooting of "House de Energy Saving".
Introducing energy-saving actions that can be tackled at home and their points! Let's do "home de energy saving" together!
Energy Conservation of Home Appliances
It's surprising that four home appliances occupy about half of home electricity! What is that home appliances? The answer is in the video!
Lifestyle Edition
The season is the point to save 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
About 50% of carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming, is emitted by the use of electricity.
When using "electricity", why carbon dioxide is emitted, there is a reason for the power generation method.
Approximately 80% of Japan's power generation uses fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, and oil.
Fossil fuels emit a lot of carbon dioxide during thermal power generation.
In other words, the more electricity you use, the more global warming will progress.
On the other hand, renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, does not emit carbon dioxide during power generation.
Why don't you use the electricity used at home as "environmentally friendly electricity" made by renewable energy?
For more information, please refer to the following website.
"Select environmentally friendly electricity" (PDF: 555KB)
※Even if you choose eco-friendly electricity, there is a limit to the supply of renewable energy.
It is also important to continue energy saving such as power saving.
Electric power liberalization inquiry window
From April 2016, the entry into the electricity retail business has been fully liberalized (full liberalization of electricity retailing), and each of us has become able to choose power companies and price menus.

Solar power generation
"Sunlight at Everyone's Home" is a joint purchase campaign that allows you to purchase and install "solar panels" and "storage batteries" at a bargain by recruiting purchasers and ordering them in a lump.
You can decide whether to actually purchase it after a field survey or final estimate.
It contributes to global warming countermeasures and also helps secure electricity in the event of a disaster. First of all, please register and consider it.
Next-generation vehicles
Let's learn decarbonization with Yokohama B Corsears!
Under the theme of promoting the spread of next-generation vehicles, a total of 5 videos featuring players from "Yokohama B Corsears" are being distributed! Learn about decarbonization, fuel cell vehicles, and fuel cell buses with players.
