Store Operation
An energy management system, combining already-installed solar
power generators and the items listed below, will be introduced to
enable greater energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction.
1) Introduction of stationary hydrogen generator utilizing an
automotive fuel cell unit
Under consideration is the utilization of a fuel cell power
generator as a power source at stores with hydrogen stations.
2) Introduction of stationary rechargeable batteries utilizing
rechargeable batteries for automobiles
A stationary rechargeable battery system which uses rechargeable
automobile batteries will be introduced to stores and may be used
as an emergency power source during disasters, in addition to
