Concerning reporting of CO2 Emissions Intensity (FY2013) in Accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures

Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. has reported its CO₂ emissions intensity (CO₂ emissions against volume of power used) for FY2013 to the government in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.

The CO₂ emissions intensity for FY2013 was 0.509kg-CO₂/kWh*, an increase of 36.5% compared to FY2012.

This increase is due to a considerable cut of CO₂ emissions intensity in FY2012, reflecting approximately 18 million tons of CO₂ credits, being the final year of a voluntary target reduction of 20% for the CO₂ emissions intensity between FY2008 – FY 2012 against figures for FY1990.
The FY2013 CO₂ emissions intensity prior to the reflection of CO₂ credits, etc., was 0.513kg-CO₂/kWh, on a similar level of performance as FY2012.

Chubu Electric will continue to pursue the optimal energy mix, and strive to reduce CO₂ emissions.

 

* This figure represents emissions intensity after deduction of Kyoto Mechanism credits, etc. from actual CO₂ emissions in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (CO₂ emissions intensity following adjustment).

The figure reported to the government is a provisional figure. Figures for CO₂ emissions intensity for individual electric utilities based on the System for Calculation, Reporting, and Announcement of Emissions of Greenhouse Gases will be separately published by the government.
