Osaka Gas to supply carbon-neutral gas to new condominiums

Japanese utility Osaka Gas will start supplying carbon-neutral gas to new condominium developers in the Kansai region as part of its efforts to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions from households, the company said on September 8.

This will be the first service in the Kansai region to supply carbon-neutral city gas for household use. “The provision of this service, combined with the use of Osaka Gas's existing Style Plan E-Zero electricity rate plan, which supplies electricity from renewable energy sources, enables residents to consider their homes’ CO₂ emissions from energy use as virtually zero,” the utility said.

Osaka Gas has been selling household fuel cells and electricity derived from renewable energy under the Style Plan E-Zero to support energy saving, low carbon emissions, and decarbonisation of residential customers.
