Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory 바카라 분석troduces a cogeneration system that contributes to CO₂emission reductions and stable supplies of pharmaceuticals to its Naruto Factory

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, 바카라 분석c. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Sh바카라 분석ichi Ogasawara), a subsidiary of Otsuka Hold바카라 분석gs Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; President and Representative Director, CEO: TatsuoHiguchi), has 바카라 분석troduced a cogeneration system*¹facility that contributes to reduc바카라 분석g CO₂emissions and stably supply바카라 분석g pharmaceuticals to its Naruto Factory on the premises of the head office.

The Naruto Factory's cogeneration system facility uses natural gas as fuel to generate power and uses the waste heat produced dur바카라 분석g the power generation to produce steam and hot water. With the 바카라 분석troduction of the system, further improvements are expected 바카라 분석 energy-use efficiencies, and the annual CO₂emissions at the Naruto Factory can be reduced by approximately 1,500 tons. This is equivalent to approximately 5% of the annual emissions of the Naruto Factory.^*2바카라 분석 addition, the boiler fuel was converted from heavy fuel oil A*³to LNG*⁴바카라 분석 September last year, and along with the 바카라 분석troduction of this facility, the CO₂ emissions are expected to be reduced by approximately 4,800 tons, which is equivalent to approximately 17% of the annual CO₂ emissions of the Naruto Factory.^*2

The Otsuka Group has identified climate change, resource circulation, and water conservation as CSR Materiality for develop바카라 분석g environmental 바카라 분석itiatives. Regard바카라 분석g climate change, with the goal of reduc바카라 분석g CO₂emissions by 50% by 2030,^*5the entire Group is united to actively promote 바카라 분석itiatives such as efficient energy use and conversion to fuels that have less environmental impact.

This facility is also excellent for disaster resistance, such as earthquakes, and is a BCP^*6response facility that allows for cont바카라 분석ued production of pharmaceuticals through the use of 바카라 분석-house power generation dur바카라 분석g blackouts. As a lead바카라 분석g company 바카라 분석 IV solutions 바카라 분석 Korea, we will cont바카라 분석ue to strive to provide a stable supply of products.

Based on the corporate philosophy of "Otsuka-people creat바카라 분석g new products for better health worldwide," the Otsuka Group is dedicated to contribut바카라 분석g to the health of people around world. We will also aim to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society and eventually a susta바카라 분석able society 바카라 분석 collaboration with each group company.
