Beverage giant Suntory has unveiled its 'Suntory Green Hydrogen Vision', a comprehensive strategy to embrace hydrogen energy in its operations. The company emphasizes the importance of water as a natural source of hydrogen energy, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and net-zero emissions. Suntory's upcoming initiatives include introducing hydrogen boilers for heat sterilization processes and piloting green hydrogen energy at its Hakushu Distillery. Notably, Suntory is constructing Japan's largest green hydrogen system, in collaboration with the Yamanashi Prefecture and technology companies. This system aims to produce 2,200 tons of hydrogen annually, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, Suntory plans to explore external business opportunities by partnering with energy companies for the distribution and sales of green hydrogen energy. The company's ambitious goal is to lead the green hydrogen market in Japan by engaging across the entire value chain from production to sales by 2027. Through these innovative endeavors, Suntory is poised to create a sustainable 'hydrogen society' and capitalize on the growing business opportunities in the hydrogen energy sector.
