Fujifilm Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions

VALHALLA, N.Y.—FUJIFILM announced that its primary US manufacturing complex, located in Greenwood, S.C., will begin using methane gas from a local community landfill to power approximately 40 percent of the facility’s operations.

Through an arrangement with Greenwood County and Methane Credit, LLC, methane gas will be extracted from the landfill and piped into the Fujifilm complex, where it will then be used in two of the facility’s four boilers. The facility will use approximately 197 billion BTUs of methane-generated energy from the landfill per year; the equivalent of the amount of energy used to heat more than 5,000 homes each year.
