TIFF screens with Green Power
 
The 21st Tokyo International Film Festival made it’s engagement with Energy Green, Inc. and TOHO Cinemas to utilize green power for all screenings during the festival held from Oct. 18 (Sat) to 26 (Sun) at TOHO Cinemas in Roppongi Hills and other venues. The entire green power required for the screenings will be purchased from Energy Green by the use of Green Power Certificates.

*Green Power: It is electricity generated by eco-friendly energies such as sunlight and wind.
*The purchase of Green Power Certificate is considered as using green electricity.


Approximately 23 tons of CO2 will be reduced by purchasing 49,000 kWh of wind-generated Green Power Certificate from Energy Green.*1 This is equivalent to the electricity consumed by 3,200 average households per day.*2

*1 The emission coefficient (0.479kg-CO2/kWh) of Hokkaido Electric Power, which has the green power plant, in fiscal 2006 was used to calculate CO2 reduction.
*2 Electricity consumed by an average household was calculated as 15 kWh.
