On April 26, the Minato Mirai 21 district was selected as the "Decarbonization Leading Area".
The Minato Mirai 21 area is an area where more than 120,000 people work and more than 60 million people visit each year even during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it a major energy consumption area.
Based on strong partnerships with Yokohama Minato Mirai 21 and 32 facilities in the area, we will accelerate various initiatives, such as regional energy management and promotion of the introduction of renewable energy from the Tohoku region, and build a decarbonization model in large cities.
Taking advantage of this selection, we will further collaborate with the government, industry, and citizens to focus on "Zero Carbon Yokohama" decarbonization by 2050 as a "SDGs Future City".
