「We also began initiatives to promote CO2 reductions for customers nationwide. We will aggregate the CO2 emissions reduced through fuel switching from heavy fuel oil and kerosene to LP gas and LNG, and use the resulting environmental value effectively. We are considering using the national J-Credit Scheme to apply this value to carbon-offset LP gas, while returning value to customers in the form of safety services and other benefits based on the amount of CO2 reduced.」
The initiative to reduce environmental impact has developed into specific mechanisms involving aggregation of CO2 reductions from fuel switching, the J-Credit Scheme, carbon-offset LP gas, and the return of value to customers through safety services. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「As part of the national effort to achieve a carbon-neutral society, we began research into production technologies for green LP gas that contribute to decarbonising LP gas.」
