New-Japan, India to cooperate in renewable energy,
Hydrogen Technologies -1.6MW 'Self-consumption-type' Mega Solar Plant Combined With
Wind Farm.
DIC Corporation , chemical manufacturer, started in 1908,
changed its name from Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Inc to DIC Corp in 2008.
Among
its plants at nine locations in Japan, organic paint and other products are
manufactured at Kashima Plant in Kamisu City, Ibaraki Prefecture
A large solar power plant , capable of producing 1.6 MW was
completed at Kashima Plant on 26.01.2018.
DIC built this plant with the aim of positioning it as part of the DIC Group's activities to
stop global warming . The DIC Group advocates the goal
to "cut the absolute amount of greenhouse gas emissions by 1% every year
and achieve a 7% reduction by 2020."The group has also proactively approached lowering carbon in its energy consumption along with energy conservation activities at plants. Having adopted two 2.3MW-output wind power generators and a 4MW-output cogeneration-type biomass boiler power generator at Kashima Plant in 2007, DIC has used all generated power within the plant.
Since January this year, when the mega-solar plant at Kashima
Plant and the biomass boiler at Hokuriku Plant started operation, the ratio of
renewable energy may increase from the
previous 10% to 13%" .
The newly adopted renewable energy facilities will
reportedly bring about a 1.3% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, for the entire DIC Group in Japan.
When designing and constructing the mega-solar plant, DIC
valued salt-resistant, highly durable systems more than anything else because
the location was close to the sea.
As
a location to set up the solar system, DIC chose a gently sloping southern site
that already had a wind farm facility. To firmly hold mounting systems and
boost the installation efficiency by narrowing the space between arrays Ryoden
adopted screw piles.
