I-1. Overall Status
The Amount of CO2 Emitted from Energy Utilization in Japan

The COP3 (the 3rd Conference of Parties of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) held in December 1997 agreed on the the reduction targets of GHG emission assigned to each developed country and issued its agreement as the "Kyoto Protocol". Japan is responsible for reducing 6% of the total GHG at the average value in 2008 to 2012 in comparison with 1990s.
About 90% of Japan's greenhouse gasses is energy-originated CO2.

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector
Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector

Energy consumption in the industrial sector has been generally steady since oil crisis.
Energy consumption unit per industrial production index for the manufacturing industry suffered a sharp fall through to the 1980s, but has been on a trend of slight increase since the 1990s.
Japan's energy consumption unit against GDP in the industrial sector is lower than those of other major countries.

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector Energy Consumption Trend under the Nippon Keidanrenfs Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment
Nippon Keidanren has drawn up a voluntary environmental action plan with the common goal of 'reducing CO2 emission from the industrial and energy conversion sectors to at least the FY1990 level by FY2010'. Implementation of the plan has reduced CO2 emission and maintained energy consumption steady against the FY1990 level.

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector
Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector

Energy consumption in the commercial/residential sector surged after the oil crisis and is still on the growth trend in recent years.
Japan's per-capita energy consumption in the commercial/residential sector is relatively low compared to other major countries, but the difference is narrowing down.

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector
Example of Energy Efficiency Improvement in Home Appliances in the Residential Sector

While the consumption trend shifts toward large size, the industry has achieved energy efficiency improvement that compensates for the size increase.
