Achieving 100% Renewable Energy with FIT Non-Fossil Certificates

ZIGExN Co., Ltd., a life service platform company based in Tokyo, has recently made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint. Thanks to the introduction of the FIT non-fossil certificates through Enerbank's environmental value trading service, ZIGExN has successfully transitioned to a substantial 100% renewable energy utilization across all its domestic locations. This impressive achievement allows the company to effectively account for zero carbon emissions associated with its electricity consumption, even in circumstances where direct switching to renewable energy sources is not feasible.

The move towards utilizing renewable energy is not just a trend for ZIGExN but a fundamental aspect of its sustainable management strategy. In a world where businesses increasingly recognize the importance of environmental responsibility, ZIGExN prioritizes decreasing its environmental impact by leveraging FIT non-fossil certificates to guarantee their renewable electricity consumption.

Background of the Initiative

As global initiatives push for a greater adoption of renewable energy sources, ZIGExN sees the reduction of environmental burden as a key theme in its operation. The company acknowledges that switching to 100% renewable electricity directly may prove challenging for many organizations. However, ZIGExN's innovative approach to utilizing FIT non-fossil certificates ensures the procurement of environmental value corresponding to their electricity usage, allowing them to achieve a practical zero for Scope 2 emissions.

Overview of Actions Taken

Enerbank, acting as a facilitator, procured FIT non-fossil certificates equivalent to ZIGExN's domestic electricity consumption levels. Through their Green Ticket environmental value trading platform, Enerbank not only secured these certificates but also enabled ZIGExN to effectively offset its annual Scope 2 emissions, achieving a practical shift to 100% renewable energy.

Such proactive measures allow ZIGExN to adopt decarbonization strategies without the need for extensive capital investments or changes in electricity contracts. This flexibility enables a smooth transition across various business locations nationwide, reaffirming ZIGExN’s commitment to sustainable business practices.

Achievement Metrics

The plan for utilizing FIT non-fossil certificates extends to the years 2024 and 2025, where ZIGExN aims to maintain its status of operating with 100% renewable energy across all business locations. Notably, in 2025, ZIGExN also plans to offset the energy use from their 3x3 professional team, “ZIGExN Updaters,” ensuring their practice aligns with environmental values.

Future Outlook

Enerbank remains committed to continuing its support for corporate decarbonization efforts through initiatives like the FIT non-fossil certificates. By disseminating practical and achievable options for businesses to engage in carbon reduction, they aim to reconcile the goals of corporate operations with environmental preservation. This ongoing socio-economic shift will contribute to the broader goal of fostering a sustainable society.
