TGNA will purchase renewable energy certificates2 over ten years to increase its use of renewable energy. These certificates have additionality3 of 100 gigawatt-hours annually that will be generated at a wind power facility in Texas. This is predicted to cut CO2 emissions by about 40,000 tons per year, which will reduce company emissions by more than 20% (compared with FY2023) in the Americas, Toyoda Gosei’s largest region in CO2 emissions.

In 2023 Toyoda Gosei brought forward, to 2030, the timing for achieving carbon neutrality in the CO2 emissions generated in its production and other activities (Scope 1 and 2), and it is accelerating its energy savings from production technology innovations and daily kaizen and its transition to renewable energy for electric power. To make this transition to renewable energy, the company is also increasing the use of in-house solar power and green energy as well as purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates. The entire Toyoda Gosei Group is working together to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 through the optimum combination of various approaches.
