*1 Hydroelectric power generation is one of the renewable energies, and it is also a clean energy that does not emit CO2 during power generation. Compared to other renewable energies such as solar and wind power that are affected by weather conditions, it is also characterized by the ability to stably generate power regardless of natural conditions and the ability to adjust the amount of power generated except for the risk of drought.
*2 Geothermal power generation is a renewable energy that emits almost zero CO2 and can generate power sustainably. It is also a "baseload power source" that can stably generate power without being affected by natural conditions such as weather. Geothermal power generation also benefits the local economy, as the hot water used for power generation can be used for greenhouse cultivation.
