Going forward, additional reductions are expected to come from the switch to renewable electricity and the change of fuel at the Oita Works, as well as from the Group’s on-going projects to construct a liquefied natural gas-based thermal power plant at its Ehime Works and introduce high-efficiency gas turbine power generators at its Chiba Works. Currently, the Group is considering raising its GHG emissions reduction targets in view of the Japanese government’s revised target of cutting emissions 46% by 2030, and plans to announce new targets by the end of 2021.
