Insights into Hitachi's Energy Renewability
In 2023, Hitachi consumed a total of 11.85 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 23.37% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 76.63% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Hitachi's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Hitachi's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2023, Hitachi consumed a total of 11.85 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 23.37% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that Hitachi has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Are Hitachi's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2019, Hitachi's total energy consumption decreased by 73.52%, including a further 38.91% drop in 2023, highlighting a continued decline in energy use.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy in Hitachi's consumption increased by 16,032.15%, including a 78.3% increase in 2023, showing consistent progress in clean energy adoption.
Overall, Hitachi has reduced its total energy consumption while steadily increasing its use of renewables, reflecting a strong commitment to reducing its energy-related environmental footprint.

Hitachi's Energy Consumed by Sources and Technologies
What are the main sources and generation technologies behind Hitachi's energy consumption?
In 2023, Hitachi's total energy consumption was primarily sourced from
- Electricity (Unspecified Source) (45.09%)
- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) (30.05%)
- City/Town Gas (20.21%)
How diverse is Hitachiās energy consumption mix?
In 2023, Hitachi consumed energy from 6 different sources or generation technologies, indicating a moderately diverse energy mix, with some concentration in a primary source.
Insights into Hitachi's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, Hitachi reported total energy inflows of 2.77 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 2.67 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 104,400 Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 3.77%, reflecting a 22.52% percentage point increase from the previous year (2022) and a 9,623.38% percentage point decrease since 2019.
Although Hitachi's production share has remained steady in the most recent year, it has declined compared to earlier periods. This suggests a long-term trend toward reduced self-production, possibly reflecting changing investment priorities or greater reliance on external supply networks.
