「To help realize a decarbonized society, the company began supplying carbon-offset city gas to commercial customers and promoting the adoption of gas ZEBs, and launched a city gas menu with an adjusted emissions factor of zero under the SHK System (Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation, Reporting and Publication System).」
The company made its measures more specific by adding carbon-offset city gas for commercial customers, gas ZEBs and a new menu with a zero emissions factor to its initiatives involving conversion to natural gas, distributed energy and carbon-neutral city gas. - FY2023RaisedAnnual report
「In response, the company will promote the role of city gas in a decarbonized society and pursue low-carbon initiatives during the transition toward decarbonization by 2050, including public-private initiatives such as the supply of e-methane and the conversion of other fuels to natural gas and promotion of distributed energy systems. It will also work with upstream suppliers to sell carbon-neutral city gas, consider measures to address further decarbonization through electrification, and engage with local governments and other parties so that the role of city gas is reflected in regional decarbonization initiatives.」
The scope of the response has expanded beyond the existing measures involving conversion to natural gas, distributed energy and carbon-offset city gas to include e-methane, cooperation with upstream suppliers and engagement with local governments. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「In response, the company will promote the role of city gas in a decarbonized society and pursue low-carbon initiatives during the transition toward decarbonization by 2050, including converting other fuels to natural gas and promoting distributed energy systems. It will also consider measures to address further decarbonization through electrification, including the sale of carbon-offset city gas.」
As measures to address decarbonization risks, the company newly listed conversion to natural gas, distributed energy, carbon-offset city gas and responses to the progress of electrification.
