Technological developments in the past few decades have led us to numerous serious problems like global warming, pollution and environment degradation. So, being a little kinder to Mother Nature makes sense. Everyone around the world has started leaning and incorporating the going green tips and joining the league is a petroleum station in Japan. The petroleum station has erected an installation called the “Solar Tower” on top of its roof.

Located near the train line between the Kanda and Tokyo Stations in Tokyo, the fueling station looks toward solar energy to meet with its electricity needs. The Solar Tower is a tower that comes loaded with photovoltaic panels that capture the solar energy and produce electricity, reducing the station’s carbon footprint. The electric power generated from the photovoltaic structure is fed to the petroleum station for its electricity use.
