Carbon neutrality The station was featured as the first ever carbon neutral railway station in Japan. According to an estimate in 2008, the station would emit 65 tons of carbon dioxide per year. To make the station carbon neutral, the railway company would reduce this figure by 35 tons by technical measures such as usage of solar power, regeneration by elevators, and reduction of water usage. The remaining 30 tons would be offset by the purchase of carbon credits and so forth."京都本線 正雀駅～南茨木駅間の新駅が「摂津市」駅に決定 ～同駅を日本初の『カーボン・ニュートラル・ステーション』に～" Joint press release by Hankyu Corporation and City of Settsu.
