Japan’s Softbank Group will invest another $10 million in Exeger, a Swedish company developing dye sensitized solar cells for integration into devices such as headphones and tablet computers. In a joint press release, the two companies said the funds would help Exeger prepare its first products for shipment next year. It is the second investment made by Softbank in Exeger through the lender’s SB Energy Corp. “A strong relationship with the SoftBank Group will be a key factor in successful deployment into new markets,” said Exeger CEO Giovanni Fili. The company claims design features such as logos, artwork and images can be part of its solar cells and printed free-form and in various colors. The Exeger technology is said to be based on a dye-sensitized solar cell which uses a light-sensitive dye to collect energy, much like photosynthesis. “We are very excited about our collaboration with Exeger, which has this incredible technology aimed at promoting the fusion of energy and information technology to help realize a more convenient and comfortable society,” said Shigeki Miwa, general manager of SoftBank Group’s CEO project office. The Swedish company is producing PV devices in a factory in Stockholm. In June last year, Exeger opened an office in Shanghai as part of the Swedish Energy Agency’s Shanghai Cleantech Hub. Softbank has invested heavily in solar energy in India, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

Japan Tobacco International (JTI) has inaugurated its first photovoltaic solar farm in Poland, located in the central Lodz province. The facility boasts a capacity of 14 megawatt-peak (MWp) and is designed to supply renewable energy to JTI's local manufacturing operations.This initiative marks a significant step in JTI's commitment to sustainable energy practices, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency in its production processes. The solar farm is part of JTI's broader strategy to integrate renewable energy sources into its global operations, aligning with environmental goals and supporting local energy infrastructure. How does JTI's new solar farm in Poland contribute to its sustainability goals? Supports JTI's goal of reducing carbon emissions by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Enhances energy efficiency in JTI's production processes by providing a stable and renewable energy source. Contributes to JTI's global strategy of integrating renewable energy, showcasing commitment to environmental sustainability. Strengthens local energy infrastructure by adding renewable capacity to the regional grid. Demonstrates leadership in corporate sustainability, potentially influencing industry peers to adopt similar practices. Aligns with global sustainability trends and regulatory requirements, potentially improving JTI's market position. Reduces operational costs over time by lowering energy expenses associated with traditional power sources. Enhances JTI's brand image as an environmentally responsible company, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and investors.
