From September 1, 2012, European Union legislation bans the
manufacture and import of all incandescent bulbs. In anticipation of
this, Mitsubishi Chemical group-company Verbatim has unveiled
a wide range of cost effective retrofit LED lamps for household
use. Sustainability, Health and Comfort are the key elements of
the KAITEKI concept. Verbatim’s LED-based solutions help to
achieve all three. The LED lamps have a much longer lifetime and
provide up to 85% energy savings
over conventional bulb types with
comparable light output. Designed
as low cost replacements for
general purpose lighting,
the use of these retrofit
and energy-efficient LED
lamps is spreading rapidly. |

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), jointly with Mitsubishi
Corporation, has received a full turnkey order from Mexico’s
state-owned Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) to build a
50 MW geothermal power generation plant. The plant, which is
slated for completion in December 2014, represents the 12th
geothermal power plant to be supplied by MHI to Mexico. The
new plant is to be installed at CFE’s Los Azufres III power station
in Michoacan, approximately 250 kilometers west of Mexico City,
the capital. MHI will be responsible for engineering, manufacture,
procurement and installation of major components, including
the steam turbine, as well as the civil engineering work and
the overall Balance of Plant. The generator will be supplied by
Mitsubishi Electric. |

Mitsubishi Plastics has recently established the Wuxi Lingshu
Agricultural Film & Material Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned
subsidiary, in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, to make specialized polyolefin
films for agricultural greenhouses as part of a larger investment to
grow its agribusiness in that country. Construction of the factory
started in September 2012, with production and sales starting next
summer. The new subsidiary will engage in the local production
and sale of specially coated multi-layer polyolefin films which boast
a much extended useful life over conventional PO film. This type
of highly functional PO film is
not yet widely used in China,
but the market is expected to
grow rapidly in the future as
greenhouse farming becomes
increasingly modernized and
larger in scale. |
