About holding "Council on geothermal utilization (open)"

With the start of the geothermal resource development survey in the Niseko Mountains, Niseko Town and Rankoshi Town have set up a council consisting of hot spring operators, environment / energy / tourism-related organizations, experts, etc. We are engaged in study sessions and case studies.

As the Council begins its efforts for 2021, it will explain the initiatives it will undertake, as well as receive explanations from the business operators (Japan Metals and Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd.), and seek a wide range of opinions.

In the future, it is expected that the stage will advance to a detailed survey aimed at geothermal power generation, so I hope that you will have the opportunity to think about the utilization of geothermal resources.

This council can be heard regardless of the municipality where you live, and no prior application is required.
We appreciate your participation by many people.
