Trends in Total Energy Use and CO₂ Emissions
Over the past 5 years, total production at domestic plants has been on a slight uptrend, but we were able to decrease total energy consumption. In FY2021, we were able to reduce energy consumption by about 11% and CO2 emissions by about 25% compared to our base year (FY2015). Our plan is to reduce total CO2 emissions by 30% or more compared to the base year (FY2015) by FY2025.
