Global warming is attracting attentions as a worldwide environmental issue. Greenhouse gases are one of the causal factors of global warming, and thus their reduction is a topic of great importance in every country. Moreover, the introduction of self-supporting and decentralized energy utilizing resources, such as renewable energy, is being accelerated due to the desire for a reliable supply of electric power following the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, because there have hardly ever been any renewable energy businesses in Japan in the past, situations arise where business operators struggle with regards to fuel procurement, technical know-how (such as the selection of appropriate equipment), and business establishment.
