Fujifilm Secures Texas Solar Deal to Power 100% of Its U.S. and Canada Operations with Renewable Energy

TL;DR: Fujifilm will offset 100% of its U.S. and Canada electricity consumption using renewable energy certificates from a Texas solar project. The deal covers roughly 90,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, about a tenth of the company’s global footprint.

Context: Fujifilm announced a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) for 300,000 megawatt‑hours of solar energy each year from the Blevins Solar & Storage Project in Blevins, Texas. A VPPA lets a company buy the environmental attributes of renewable power without taking physical delivery of the electricity. The project, operated by Geronimo Power, spans 2,300 acres and became fully operational last month. Fujifilm purchased about 46% of the site’s nameplate capacity under the agreement.

Key Facts: The renewable energy certificates (RECs) from this Texas solar project will offset all electricity used by Fujifilm’s group companies in the United States and Canada. The VPPA corresponds to approximately 90,000 metric tons of CO₂ per year, which represents roughly 10% of Fujifilm’s global annual emissions based on its 2025 fiscal year data. Chisato Yoshizawa, director of Fujifilm’s ESG Division, said the project aligns with the company’s transition strategy by supporting new renewable capacity and reducing environmental impacts.

What It Means: By securing RECs from a newly built solar farm, Fujifilm adds verifiable renewable electricity to its North American portfolio while helping finance additional clean‑energy generation. The move supports the company’s stated goals of cutting product‑life‑cycle greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by fiscal year 2030 and reaching net‑zero GHG emissions by fiscal year 2040. It also reflects a broader trend among manufacturers using off‑site renewable contracts to meet sustainability targets when on‑site generation is not feasible.

Watch for Fujifilm’s next steps in expanding renewable procurement across other regions and any updates on its progress toward the 2030 and 2040 emissions milestones.
