Starting in September, the plant will implement a system that uses solar power, hydrogen fuel cells, and batteries. The plant, which produces hybrid vehicle components and consumes 5,000 to 6,000 kWh, will cover 10 kWh of its consumption with renewable sources. The innovative system was developed by Fukuoka City&#8217;s startup,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Aakel Technologies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and includes detailed forecasting to manage the energy needs. This move aims to make the Kokura factory a model for decarbonization, with plans to expand the initiative from 2024 onward. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOJC140YL0U3A810C2000000\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikkei<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-147109\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_electricity_2022_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Toyota Kyushu Plans Full Renewable Power at Kokura Factory\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_electricity_2022_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_electricity_2022_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_electricity_2022_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_electricity_2022_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo for image purpose only<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
