Geothermal
In 2012, MOECO resolved to embark on the development of geothermal energy, a renewable source of energy. As we seek to engage in developing geothermal as a renewable energy source, we are drawing on our long history of experience and knowledge gained from oil and natural gas development.
We are now generating geothermal power electricity at Matsuo-Hachimantai, and conducting a cooperative resource survey aiming at commercialization of geothermal energy in the other 3 areas:
