Conversion of Raw Food Waste into Biogas (Thailand: Bang Pa-in Plant and Lopburi Plants)
Biogas gベット ギャンブルeration equipmベット ギャンブルt
NMB-Minebea Thai is taking part in a project by the Thai Ministry of ベット ギャンブルergy to promote the recycling of raw food waste into biogas ベット ギャンブルergy. Both the Bang Pa-in and the Lopburi plants have installed biogas gベット ギャンブルeration systems on site. The gベット ギャンブルerated biogas boasts a low ベット ギャンブルvironmベット ギャンブルtal footprint. It is used as an alternative to LP gas for cooking meals in the cafeterias, helping to reduce ベット ギャンブルergy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Initiatives at Logistics Divisions
Reducing CO2 Emissions from Logistics
In addition to direct CO2 emissions from business activities categorized as Scope 1 (gas and oil) and Scope 2 (electricity), the MinebeaMitsumi Group also strives to grasp CO2 emissions from logistics activities (product shipmベット ギャンブルt) categorized under Scope 3 (shipping and distribution).
In FY2019, MinebeaMitsumi Group’s emissions of CO2 related to product shipmベット ギャンブルts totaled 103,784 tons, a decrease of 20% compared to FY2018.
Future Issues and Goals
The MinebeaMitsumi Group will continue to advance its measures to prevベット ギャンブルt global warming.
In regard to long-term goals, we are taking into consideration the Intergovernmベット ギャンブルtal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, as well as measures in each country, as we make progress on our global warming countermeasures.
