Suzuki Invests in Fujisan Asagiri Biomass

- Contribute to the formation of a recycling-based society -

Suzuki Motor Corporation (hereinafter “Suzuki”) has invested in Fujisan Asagiri Biomass LLC. (Headquarters: Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, Japan, hereinafter “Fujisan Asagiri Biomass”).

Fujisan Asagiri Biomass was established in 2021, and owns the Asagiri Biomass Plant. The Asagiri Biomass Plant is scheduled to be operational and start sales of electricity by March 2023.

Fujisan Asagiri Biomass collects cow dung from local dairy farmers and farmers, which are fermented and refined into biogas which is used as the fuel to generate electricity at the Asagiri Biomass Plant. The generated electricity will be supplied to the area via a local electricity company. The residue (digestive fluid) produced in the fermenting process will be sold as organic fertilizers.

Suzuki aims to contribute to the vitalization of the local community through the investment to Fujisan Asagiri Biomass, by using the local resources (cow dung) to generate electricity and produce organic fertilizers. We will also utilize the knowledge and experience that we earn from Fujisan Asagiri Biomass in our biogas demonstration project in India.

Suzuki will contribute to the formation of a recycling-based society through the Fujisan Asagiri Biomass and the biogas demonstration project in India.
