CO2 emissions per basic unit

CO2 emissions per basic unit (global)

Results in fiscal 2007, was 4.13 million tons-CO2; a reduction of 24 percent compared to fiscal 2001 CO2 emissions per basic unit's reduction goal of 5 percent

  • * The GHG protocol's CO2 emissions factors for each country are used for electricity purchased outside Japan.
  • * The factors related to fuels are based on the Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Businesses (Draft 1.6) by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan.

CO2 emissions per unit of actual production (Japan)

Results in fiscal 2007, Total emission of 2.06 million tons-CO2; Details: Device sector: 1.39 million tons-CO2, Consumer products sector: 670,000 tons-CO2. 35 percent reduction from the goals of CO2 emissions per unit of actual production by fiscal 1991 comparison

  • * The factors used for purchased electricity are the average of all types of power at the point of use, reported by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan.
  • * CO2 emissions factors for individual fiscal years are: 0.410 kg CO2/ kWh (fiscal 1991), 0.407 kg CO2/kWh (fiscal 2003), 0.436 kg CO2/kWh (fiscal 2004), 0.421 kg CO2/kWh (fiscal 2005), and 0.425 kg CO2/kWh (fiscal 2006). The value for fiscal 2006 is used for estimating the level of fiscal 2007.
  • * The calculation method for CO2 emissions per unit of actual production (Japan) was changed. The effect of the fiscal 2002's revision of in-house system was not reflected in fiscal 1991. Therefore, figures for past fiscal years were also changed. In comparison with the previous calculation method, basic unit indexes have been lowered by about 16% in each year.
