Mazda to Provide Green Electricity for Japanese Pro
Baseball 2009 All-Star Games
15 July 2009 · posted by JMC
HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor
Corporation will provide electricity generated from
renewable sources, such as wind power, solar power, and
biomass, for two all-star games organized by the Nippon
Professional Baseball Association (NPB)
in Japan. These ‘green powered’ 2009 all-star games will be
played at the Sapporo Dome on July 24 and at the
MAZDA Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima
on July 25, 2009.
Mazda is committed to the pursuit of driving pleasure
balanced with environmental and safety performance. As part
of this pledge, Mazda is supporting the ‘NPB2008 Green
Baseball Project,’ an initiative involving Japan’s 12
professional baseball teams that is intended to help prevent
global warming.
Eco-friendly ‘green electricity’ will be used for the
games under the “Green Power Certification System.” Mazda
will indirectly provide the electricity to illuminate the
nighttime all-star 2009 games by purchasing a “Green Power
Certificate” for 12,000 kilowatt hours and presenting it to
the Nippon Professional Baseball Association (NPB).
Using green power for the games is expected to reduce CO2
emissions by approximately 6.6 metric tons.
