CEO Profile

Takehito Nishiyama

After serving as a project manager for large-scale wind, biomass, and solar power projects at a Mitsubishi Corporation group company, he Worked in business development for satellite data solutions at a prominent Japanese space startup. With experience of approaching environmental issues from both terrestrial and orbital perspectives, he founded Greenphard Energy in 2021 to contribute to decarbonization and regional power stabilization by fusing digital technology with energy systems.

Don’t be a bystander.
Take action.
Committing seriously to solving the climate crisis.

Most of the world’s major challenges, such as climate change and global conflicts, are rooted in energy issues. Tackling these issues is the key to solving a myriad of global problems. However, when faced with challenges of such immense scale, individuals often feel helpless and tend to become mere bystanders. But what if the actions of a single person could become a great force for change? I believe that if we prove this is possible, more people will be inspired to take action.

By “creating” energy resources from refrigeration, cold storage, and HVAC systems, even a single company can generate a massive direct impact. For instance, a single large factory or office building can reduce its CO2 emissions by hundreds of tons annually. At the same time, this contributes to the stabilization of the regional power grid and directly leads to an increase in the proportion of renewable energy available to the entire community.

While global decarbonization efforts are often swayed by international economic and political trends, we all feel the immediate reality of extreme weather. There is no more time to wait. At Greenphard, we refuse to be bystanders; we are determined to act and confront this challenge head-on.

My personal driving force stems from my childhood love for nature. Witnessing local mountains destroyed by development and wild animals being driven out of their habitats deeply saddened me. This experience instilled in me a lifelong desire to contribute to solving such environmental issues. After working on large-scale clean energy power plant projects at a major trading company and later leading satellite data solution development at a space startup, I gained a unique perspective on environmental challenges from both the ground and space. In 2021, I founded Greenphard Energy to fuse digital technology with power control to stabilize regional energy systems.

The challenges we face are immense, and the daily work is demanding. However, I believe that beyond these hurdles lies a world we can be proud to pass on to the next generation. While the road is difficult, I am incredibly grateful to work alongside exceptional global colleagues, customers, and partners. Our goal goes beyond simply business, we are building a legacy for the next 100 years and for the children of the future. I invite you to join us in this challenge.
