Concerning reporting of CO₂Emissions Intensity (FY2010) 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 FY2010 to the government in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.

Our CO₂ emissions intensity for FY2010 following use of Kyoto Mechanism credits, etc. was 0.341kg-CO₂/kWh*, a reduction of 26.6% against figures for FY1990.

We are working towards the achievement of a target of a 20% reduction in average CO₂ emissions intensity against figures for FY1990 over the five years of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (FY2008-FY2012).

Based on a request from the vgovernment, we have shut down the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station, which places us in a difficult position in terms of the achievement of our target. We will work our hardest on both the supply and demand fronts.

 

*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 prior to these deductions (actual CO₂ emissions intensity) was 0.473kg-CO₂/kWh.
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.
