Co-creation for decarbonization that
makes growth possible
Aiming for both business growth and
reductions in our impact on the environment,
Omika Works is building a network, with itself as the hub,
to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire value chain
Carbon neutrality has become an urgent issue, and Hitachi is taking various initiatives to achieve both business growth and to reduce our impact on the environment. One such initiative is the decarbonization support network “Omika Green Network,” which has been conducting various experimental verification in real-world fields at the Omika Works and has been accumulating technologies and know-how related to decarbonization. In addition, with the Omika Works as the hub, we are also proceeding with experimental verification and initiatives in collaboration with regional and supply-chain stakeholders. We are utilizing the knowledge gained through these activities to support environmental management that contributes to the continuity of our customers’ businesses, to strengthening competitiveness, and to creating new businesses.
Omika Works is a base for manufacturing and developing information control systems. Utilizing its existing knowledge of factory management DX*1 (in production management and energy management), the Omika Works has started environmental management GX*2. They have been conducting experimental verification in real-world fields at the Works and have been accumulating technologies and know-how related to decarbonization.
With the aim of achieving carbon neutrality in regions and supply chains, we are promoting the formation of a social infrastructure ecosystem in which various experimental verification results related to environmental management GX are shared with many stakeholders. We are doing this through the Omika Green Network, with Omika Works as the hub.
Through our activities and businesses, we are working to strengthen energy conservation and reduce CO2 emissions.
Reduction target: Achieve carbon neutrality in FY 2024 (emissions in the Works)
To achieve carbon neutrality at our business sites by FY 2030 (Hitachi Carbon Neutrality 2030), we are working to strengthen energy conservation and reduce CO2 emissions through our own activities and businesses.
By aggregating information from power sensors in EcoAssist-Enterprise and data visualization, we predict power demand, utilize renewable energy through solar power generation and storage batteries, and reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, by linking FEMS*3 with our production plans, we suppress peak power.
The GX experimental verification at Omika Works take the form of a cycle for achieving carbon neutrality. The cycle includes understanding the current status of CO2 emissions, formulating a reduction plan, implementing the reduction measures, and evaluating them.
By building a “social infrastructure ecosystem” (an organizational structure for decarbonization co-creation initiatives) with various stakeholders, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality.
GX Total System Engineering is based on the knowledge, know-how, and technology gained from Omika Works’ GX experimental verification. We can provide total support to help our customers achieve their decarbonization goals: from concept formulation to promoting actual activities and establishing them as processes.
