One of the World’s Largest Renewable Energy-Powered Hydrogen Systems

In Namie Town, a large-scale demonstration project is underway to effectively utilize renewable energy by converting solar power—whose output fluctuates depending on weather conditions—into hydrogen.
The hydrogen produced was used during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and further utilization in a variety of future applications will continue to be promoted.

Okuma Town Recycling Center

A recycling facility for non-combustible waste was established in Okuma Town by Soso Smart Eco Company Co., Ltd., which was founded in October 2018 through collaboration among eight private companies, primarily local firms.
The company aims to contribute to the community by strengthening the industrial base, including the promotion of advanced technological demonstrations and future commercialization.

Shinchi Energy Center

The Shinchi Energy Center has developed and operates an energy system that supplies combined heat and power (CHP) to the area surrounding Shinchi Station using distributed power sources, including cogeneration systems (CGS) fueled by natural gas from the Soma LNG terminal, along with related heat supply facilities.
The supply of electricity and heat to consumers has continued since spring 2019.

To promote the large-scale introduction of renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, in former evacuation areas, shared transmission lines extending over 70 km are being installed in the Abukuma Mountains and coastal areas.
