The facility utilises Hitachi's Powered by RE system, which visualises renewable energy usage. The certification, acquired on March 8, 2023, ensures that the production facility for Dinamica is powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
Hitachi developed Powered by RE in 2021 as a system to visualise how much renewable energy is used at individual facilities and services, with the aim of achieving a decarbonised society. In 2022, Hitachi launched the Powered by RE Certification Committee, a general incorporated association jointly with Art & Ecology, Inc. that certifies 100 percent renewable energy use at each production line, equipment and services to contribute to further expansion of renewable energy use.
The Certificate of Renewable Energy Use issued by the Powered by RE Certification Committee ensures that electricity used by individual production lines, facilities, and services is 100 percent derived from renewable energy. The certification acquired for Dinamica has been based on data from the energy management system of its production facility at the Nonwovens Plant, verifying that 100 percent of the power used is derived from renewable energy. This certification allows Asahi Kasei to claim to its customers that it is contributing to measures against global warming through the provision of products from the certified production lines.
Asahi Kasei is aiming to achieve carbon neutral and sustainable society and is focusing on initiatives such as the use of biomass raw materials, recycled raw materials and renewable energy.
