CHOFU is committed to further technological innovations and to decarbonize manufacturing processes to create a decarbonized society.

Diverse measures are being implemented to reduce CO2 in European nations and other nations in the world with a goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. Approximately 30% of the in-home energy usage is related to hot water supply. Until now, hot water was obtained by changing oil and gas fossil fuels to thermal energy. However, heat pump water heaters that convert aerothermal energy into hot water will be needed to become carbon neutral. Japanese manufacturers’ “technology to change aerothermal energy into hot water” is attracting worldwide attention. CHOFU SEISAKUSHO plays a part in that.

Global Movement to Become a Decarbonized Society

EU

Aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Declared to reduce CO2 by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

Agreed on Recovery Fund and MFF on a scale of 1.8 trillion Euros in total, including the recovery plan from COVID-19. 30% of the total budget (37% of recovery fund) is to be used for climate change.

United Kingdom

Pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050.

China

Declared to aim for carbon neutrality by 2060.

Steps are taken in industries to develop decarbonization technologies, such as EV and FCV.

United States

Established climatic change as one of the most important policies.
Declared to achieve zero net discharge before 2050.

Japan

Aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Reducing 46% of the greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared to 2013).

Promoting widespread availability of energy efficient equipment with the Energy Conservation Act.

ect.

A total of 123 nations and 1 region are committed to become carbon neutral by 2050.
The world is moving toward carbon neutrality (net zero CO2 emissions).

CHOFU’s Commitment to Decarbonized Society

From the time we began exporting in 1990s until the year 2020, CHOFU has shipped over 1 million products.
CHOFU is a pioneer company that introduced new eco-friendly refrigerant to European markets.

Company-wide effort is put into place to develop more efficient, energy saving, and recyclable energy products.

For the social responsibility of the enterprise and with a goal to become a people-friendly and earth-friendly society, CHOFU is committed to reducing emissions in all processes, from procurement of raw materials to production and distribution to disposal.

Contribution through products

CHOFU products that use recyclable energy as heat source and products that were developed to improve heat pump technology and combustion efficiency will contribute to building a decarbonized society.
CHOFU’s mission of making top quality products widely available will promote carbon neutrality.

Contribution through production

CHOFU SEISAKUSHO is actively engaged in installing solar panels.
Our plants’ panels can generate a total of 12.6 MW of electricity.

Contribution through infrastructure

CHOFU is participating in the construction of biomass power generation business in Shimonoseki where our head office plant is located.
By using recyclable wood as raw material to generate electricity, we contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
