On Monday 11 July, President and CEO FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Teiichi Goto, visited Fujifilm in Tilburg. Mr Goto's first step in the new Life Science factory in Tilburg was a green footprint, he put his footstep in the green clay. This symbolised the step towards a CO2 neutral future. The factory is expected to be completely CO2 neutral by 2024.
Mr. Goto was given a guided tour of the site, past the various factories, the R&D lab and the water purification. This was followed by a tour of the new Life Science factory. In this facility Fujifilm produces cell culture media for the biopharmaceutical industry.
The electricity of the production process in Tilburg is already 100% generated by wind energy. In addition, electrically driven heat pumps have been installed to optimise the cooling and heating process. Further sustainability of the new factory, through the installation of an e-boiler, is planned for 2024. This will make the energy consumption of the new factory 100% CO2 neutral.
