Fujifilm Recording Media U.S.A. has dedicated a solar panel installation at Bedford, Massachusetts, manufacturing facility.
The installation, Fujifilm’s third solar installation in the U.S., was carried out in partnership with local clean energy integrators Columbia Construction Company (North Reading, Mass.) and Absolute Green Energy Corporation (Worcester, Mass.)
With 1,870 modules, the solar array will produce about 644,000 kWh annually, which is equivalent to a reduction of 444 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
With this installation, Fujifilm will realize a substantial cost savings on its current energy usage. In addition, the company will be able to take advantage of the utilities net energy metering program that provides ongoing benefits.
Globally, Fujifilm has a Greenhouse gas target set at 30 percent reduction in CO2Â emissions by Fiscal Year 2020, as compared to 2005.
