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 credit and so forth.[1][3]
History
Settsu-shi Station opened on 14 March 2010.[1]
Station numbering was introduced to all Hankyu stations on 21 December 2013 with this station being designated as station number HK-67.[4]
