In 2022, a new concept of "Panasonic Green Impact" was set to further promote environmental measures.

Panasonic has announced that it will focus on environmental measures in the entire business activity in 2022.With a new concept of "Panasonic Green Impact", the next -generation eco -friendly next -generation technologies that are currently developing are released at CES.Several new electronics products in 2022, mainly North American models, have been announced.Here, we will focus on Panasonic's environmental initiatives and presentations.

At the CES press conference held on January 5, local time, Panasonic's CEO, Yutaka Kusumi, explained in detail the environment concept "Panasonic Green Impact" in the form of a video message.

By 2030, Panasonic has set a goal of holding down the CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions into "real zero".By the following 2050, we will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions from the products to be sold, save energy for industry solutions, and promote clean energy technology.

While defining the activity guidelines, the background of the new slogan "Impact" is described as follows in order to appeal that the Panasonic Group will be united and accelerates activities for the goal.

"There is a determination that Panasonic will give a positive impact while contributing to the reduction in the impact of the huge CO2, and act for the sustainable future (ACT).Words that symbolize the commitment "(Mr. Kusumi)

Accelerate the development related to clean energy

All environmental exhibition contents can be viewed online online.

Film fuel is used by "vacuum insulation glass", which has high insulation performance and supports energy management in the living environment, and heat replacement by gathering heat in the atmosphere with high heat insulation performance.There are "AQUAREA", a heated pump -type hot water heater that can reduce CO2 emissions more than the burning heating equipment.

The technology for the North American market includes a DC motor developed and manufactured by Panasonic and a unique motor control technology that drives exhaust and air supply independently to enhance the efficiency of ventilation and energy saving.

Panasonic is also focusing on developing technologies on the theme of "Smart City," which enhances the energy efficiency of buildings and the city and contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions."Sustainable Smart Town", which uses the site of Panasonic's factory, is promoting "town development" to solve society and regional issues while considering the environment.In the third project "Suita SST" (Osaka Prefecture), we aim to cover the power used in the city with 100 % renewable energy while raising the "Renewable 100 Town" in the slogan.

The Panasonic Group's business activities with 100 % renewable energy are named "RE100 Solutions".The concept of a solution that combines pure hydrogen fuel cells, solar cells, and storage batteries, and provides them while customizing.From April 2022, a demonstration experiment will begin at its own Kusatsu factory.For pure hydrogen fuel cells, we will accelerate initiatives to achieve 56 % of the industry's highest level.

In addition, we also appeal to the realization of energy -saving by automation of energy management, such as building lighting, air conditioning, power, etc., and focusing on technology development such as lighting design and right lighting optimized in the space.。

Create synergy effects from the acquisition of Blue Yonder in the AI field

The technologies related to the next -generation "mobility", including EVs (electric vehicles), are spotted on the development and mass production of lithium -ion batteries, which are powerful, and the charger control system.In each case, it will respond to environmental consideration and solving social issues that occur with development promotion.

The cloud battery management system is a unique system that remotely monitor and operate batteries mounted on electric mobility.With AI technology that makes use of the know -how of supply chain software cultivated by the US Blue Yonder, which was acquired in the fall of 2021, we support safe and optimal battery use.

In addition, two new technologies for the next generation of Panasonic, which contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, has been released.One is "Perobskite solar cell".Panasonic's unique inkjet application technology and material technology, which have a proven track record in the development of OLED panels, are applied to high -efficient solar cell modules that can develop a variety of sizes.If this technology is established, solar cells can be installed on the building walls and windows, which were previously difficult to install.

Another innovative technology is "Anion replacement membrane type water solution".It is a highly active highly active catalyst material necessary for producing hydrogen at low cost while utilizing renewable energy power.Panasonic describes the role of this new material as "contributing to promoting the realization of a carbon native society by utilizing the generated hydrogen for applications such as chemical materials and iron -producing agents."
