Reporting of CO2 Emissions Intensity (FY2014) in Accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures

Chubu Electric Power today reported its FY2014 CO₂ emissions intensity (CO₂ emissions against volume of power used) to the government in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.

The CO₂ emissions intensity for FY2014 was 0.494kg-CO₂/kWh*, a 2.9% drop from FY2013.

This decline reflects the increased introduction of renewable energy, and the start of general operation at the thermal-efficient Joetsu Thermal Power Station.

Chubu Electric Power will continue its efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions. To this end, we will further engage in undertakings that utilize nuclear power generation, placing top priority on securing its safety and establishing trust in the local community, introduce top-of-the-line thermal power facilities at Nishi-Nagoya Thermal Power Station Group No. 7 and Taketoyo Thermal Power Station Unit 5, and also incorporate renewable energy.

*This figure represents emissions intensity (CO₂ emissions intensity following adjustment) calculated in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures, following adjustments associated with the feed-in tariff scheme for renewable energy and the Kyoto Mechanism credits.
The emissions intensity prior to the foregoing adjustment (pre-adjustment emissions intensity) is 0.497kg-CO₂/kWh.
Based on the System for Calculation, Reporting, and Announcement of Emissions of Greenhouse Gases, the government will separately publish the figure reported by Chubu Electric Power as CO₂ emissions intensity for individual electric utilities.
