2021 – Understanding the current energy situation in Japan (Part 1)

The amount of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) in Japan was 1.21 billion tons in FY2019, 85% of which was energy-related CO2 (emitted from fuel combustion activities such as power generation.) Therefore, curbing energy-related GHGs is a critical challenge in the future.
