Toho Co., the creator and film producer behind the hit “Godzilla” series, has started using hydrogen-fired electricity for its main studio in Tokyo, becoming the first company in Japan to commercially use such power.
Jera Co., a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. and Chubu Electric Power Co., is the green power supplier to Toho Studios, one of the largest film studios in the country.
As part of its zero-emission efforts, the studio, located in the capital’s Setagaya Ward, has already been provided with solar-powered energy by Jera. The aim is to achieve complete decarbonization in the facility around 2030.
