Efforts to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are being carried out at TAIYO YUDEN (Philippines). Solar water heaters were installed to make use of a renewable energy source. The project has led to a significant reduction in energy consumption and has limited CO2 emissions.
Solar water heatersA boiler previously run on kerosene was converted to run on LPG as fuel. The switchover is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 6,488t/year.
LPG fuelAt TAIYO YUDEN (Philippines), equipment was installed to collect and recover organic solvents, enabling 80% of solvent to be reused. At the same time it has reduced the amount of waste generated.
