Supporting for Creation of Cutting-edge Industry

in the fields of Environment and Energy

Kawasaki city also established a supporting system

called Innovate Kawasaki which consists of
government, industry and academic
This system aims at substantial contribution to
international society, by promoting creation and
accumulation of cutting-edge industries from
Kawasaki.
This system supports business development of
cutting-edge technologies in the areas of
environment, energy and life science.

1967 (40 YEARS AGO)

2011

The situations of KOGAI problems

As the core of Kawasaki City, Keihin industrial area towed a high economic
growth in Japan. On the other hand, it triggered rapid environmental degradation.
Serious pollution include air pollution and water contamination.
Many surrounding residents showed chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma
symptoms due to atmospheric pollutant discharged from factories and vehicles.

Mega Solar Generation Project

Kawasaki City and Tokyo Electric Power Co. are moving ahead
with a joint mega-solar power generation project to construct solar
electric power plants with a combined total output of 20,000kW in
the Kawasaki City coastal area. These plants are set to commence
operation in FY2011.
Tokyo Electric Power: Construction of the solar power facilities;
operation and management of the electric power plants
Kawasaki: Construction and operation of a PR facility

One of the largest solar power generation plants in Japan

2 electric power plants with a total output of about 20,000kW
(7,000kW + 13,000kW)
Will generate about 21 million kWh, equivalent to the amount of
electricity used by about 5,900 ordinary households annually

initiatives to date, we plan to widely disseminate information on superior environmental
technology and products within Japan and overseas.
We will transfer environmental technology as a global contribution and a form of industrial
exchange.
