New Principle of Energy Policy
(“New Energy Strategy” by METI, June 2006 )

Dealing with Global Warming by the Government

Government Policy and Procedure：

Follow the decision settled at COP3
Put emphasis on Energy Conservation as for energy-oriented CO² reduction
ractical use of Kyoto Mechanism (CDM, Emission Trading)

Formulation of Global Warming Prevention Principles<Jun. 1998> 　　　

Ratification of Kyoto Protocol<Jun. 2002>

Consolidation of Laws, etc.：
Revision of Global Warming Prevention Law<2002.4>
Revision of Energy Conservation Law<2002.6, 2006.4>
Revision of Law of Promotion of Renewable Energy Usage<2002.6>
Enactment of Fundamental Law for Energy Policies<2002.6>
Revision of Energy Conservation & Recycling Assistance Law<2003.3>

Kyoto Commitment

GHG emissions - 6% below 1990 level
Stabilization of CO² emissions at 1990 level

?????????????????????? ↓

Today GHG emission level is already over the 1990 level, so Japanese government estimates that 12% reduction of GHG should be needed.

Almost 90% of Japan’s GHG is energy-oriented CO².
→Energy conservation is expected as a effective measure.
revised
< Kyoto Commitment achieving plan by Japanese Government --- April 28, 2005 >

-5.2%	Emission Reduction of CO², CH⁴ and N²O 　-4.8% : CO² from Energy Origin (by Energy Conservation, Nuclear Power Generation, Renewable Energy, Innovative Technologies ) - 0.4% : Emission Reduction of CH⁴, N²O etc
-1.3	HFC, PFC, SF6
-3.9	Sinks (Land Use Change and Forestry)
-1.6	Kyoto Mechanism ( Emission Trading, JI, CDM )
