Environmental Solutions

Up until now, Yokogawa has contributed great efforts to provide environmental solutions for energy conservation and global warming prevention in the industrial areas especially in the process control and measurement instrumentation areas. For global warming prevention purposes, the energy saving solutions for factories and offices are more and more demanded in recent years. From the cost reduction and environmental management point of view, Yokogawa will support the customer's energy saving efforts in the "Energy on Demand" concept, which refers to the supply of energy where it is required, when required, and in the required amount.

Yokogawa hosted an Energy Saving and Environmental Executive Forum to which leaders representing the government, industry, and the media were invited for an exchange of opinions on the topic of environmental conservation on April 24, 2008, at the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo. On panel discussions, the panel members from the key industries of Japan made presentations on the most advanced technologies in the world regarding energy supply and conservation. 172 guests from government offices, customer companies, sales agents and press related organizations attended the forum. The representatives from industrial circles discussed the goals and strategies of the industrial world.
