In Japan, Shell is known as the fifth biggest oil refiner. And one of the most recent news about this giant of a company is that it is already planning on shelling out 100 billion yen which would be used as investment. Yes, that amount of money would be used to make a megaplant which would be using solar power.
Aside from making use of solar power, this Shell plant in Japan would also be using that facility to produce more solar panels. All in all, estimates say that the total number of solar panels that this facility could produce would be around 1 gigawatt and that would be just around the same amount of power you would find in a small reactor of nuclear power. If that is not that powerful enough for you, then I certainly don’t know what is.
These plans are actually a move towards the challenge given by the Yasuo Fukuda, the Japanese Prime Minister. This official disclosed that it would be best for the country and the environment if citizens used solar power.
