Mazda to Provide Green Electricity for Japanese Pro Baseball’s 2010 All-Star Games

- Mazda will support the Nippon Professional Baseball Association’s activities to prevent global warming -

HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation will provide electricity generated from renewable sources for two all-star games organized by the Nippon Professional Baseball Association (NPB) in Japan. The first ‘green powered’ 2010 Mazda all-star game will be played at the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome on July 23. The illumination for the second game, a night game to be held at the Hard Off Eco Stadium Niigata on July 24, will also be powered by green energy sources.

Eco-friendly ‘green electricity’ will be used for the games under the “Green Power Certification System*.” Mazda will indirectly provide green electricity to illuminate the nighttime all-star 2010 games by purchasing a “Green Power Certificate” for 12,000 kilowatt hours. Using green power for the games is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 6.6 metric tons.
