Business
Pursuing the possibilities of tomorrow
together with the world,
society, and you
When your thoughts turn to the future, we think of our customers and the many others we encounter along the way, bringing to mind all those who are so special. By giving form to each of the many possibilities, we seek to realize a world in which everyone can live comfortably.
We will keep on trying until we reach the goal Carving out a path towards carbon neutrality
Environmental action × problem solving
We generate renewable energy through a wide variety of methods such as solar, wind, and hydropower, but we are still a long way from achieving carbon neutrality.
We believe that the growth of our sustainability business will enable us to pass on a rich lifestyle to future generations, and we have begun efforts to realize a new goal.
Project Key Data
In biomass power generation, plant-derived resources are burned and gasified to generate electricity. The Daiwa House Group is proceeding with a plan to convert the Hibikinada Thermal Power Plant into a biomass-fired power plant to achieve carbon neutrality. Our business, which uses renewable energy to provide illumination for individuals and communities, is a growth-driven business that will realize our corporate purpose – The Year 2055, a Future in which People Can Celebrate the Joys of Life.
The biggest benefit of converting the Hibikinada Thermal Power Plant into a biomass-fired power plant is that it can significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. We are considering a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 450,000 tons while maintaining conventional power generation output. We aim to solve the main drawback of renewable energy – that power output is dependent on the weather, which is changeable – thereby achieving a stable power supply.
In March 2024, mixed combustion power generation (70% coal, 30% biomass) at Hibikinada Power Station had ceased. After that, we will carry out a trial run aimed at converting it into a biomass-fired power plant, and will continue to confirm and verify each of the numerous processing stages. We aim to resume operations in a safe and secure manner in April 2026, 24 months later. You can look forward to seeing the new Hibikinada Thermal Power Plant, which will generate electric power from a new renewable energy source, complementing the already-established solar, wind, and hydroelectric power generation.
Reassurance even if the worst happens
Co-creating regional anti-disaster measures and
commercial facilities
Open innovation × problem solving
No-one can know when or where they may be faced with unforeseeable dangers caused by climate change or other natural disasters.
We have built facilities that can provide all visitors with a reassuringly safe and natural environment.
Project Key Data
The Triada Munakata Mall, which opened in late June 2022, is a multi-purpose commercial facility that has enabled a number of existing retail outlets to be rebuilt without closing down temporarily. In the event of a natural disaster, the facility offers local residents eight disaster-amelioration features that will let them do their shopping and use fitness gyms in safety. These include emergency-use "manhole" toilets, emergency parking space where people can stay overnight in their own cars, and warehouses for stockpiling emergency-use foodstuffs and other vital goods.
Emergency power sources at the Triada Munakata include a storage battery system capable of charging 100 smart phones and continuously* powering 40 LED lights for up to 100 hours (about four days). In the event of a natural disaster, we envisage opening up the facility to displaced members of the local population for mobile phone recharging. The management of the facility have signed an agreement with the City of Munakata, under which it is recognized as an official emergency evacuation site. In these ways, we are helping support the daily lives of people in the region.
*Depending on the equipment being powered, among other conditions
As of fiscal 2023, the Daiwa House Group operates 362 multi-purpose facilities across Japan, notably iias and BRANCH. Thanks to the Group's comprehensive strengths, we are able to offer a one-stop service covering everything from construction, to leasing to tenants, and facility management. We leverage our long track record and extensive know-how to make proposals that optimally fit the requirements of each location and the needs of the local market. We work with our partners to create commercial facilities that will maintain their vibrancy over long-term future cycles.
