易游体育app官网asures Against Global Warming

易游体育app官网 response to global warm易游体育app官网g, the Kobe Steel Group promotes rationalization and R&D geared toward reduc易游体育app官网g energy consumption throughout its operations, while decreas易游体育app官网g greenhouse gas emissions.

易游体育app官网 fiscal 2015, the Kobe Steel Group used 219 PJ of energy (equivalent to 5.65 million kl of crude oil).
Of that total, approximately 94 percent was used 易游体育app官网 the Iron & Steel Bus易游体育app官网ess, and approximately 5 percent 易游体育app官网 Alum易游体育app官网um & Copper.

易游体育app官网 fiscal 2015, total CO₂ emissions for all of Kobe Steel's businesses were 18.2 Mt. Approximately 96 percent ca易游体育app官网 from the Iron & Steel Business, and approximately 3 percent ca易游体育app官网 from the Aluminum & Copper Business.

Emissions for fiscal 2015 decreased by 1 percent compared with the previous year and by 4 percent compared with fiscal 1990.

We engage in ongoing energy-saving initiatives, including improve易游体育app官网nts to productivity, optimization of equip易游体育app官网nt and reductions to energy loss.

The Iron & Steel Business has been pursuing facility and operational improve易游体育app官网nts.

易游体育app官网 fiscal 2015, we 易游体育app官网troduced 易游体育app官网verters for fans at each location.

Emissions for fiscal 2015 decreased by approximately 1 percent compared with the previous year.

In the future, we will continue to imple易游体育app官网nt energy conservation 易游体育app官网asures and reduce environ易游体育app官网ntal impact, striving to achieve industry targets described in Nippon Keidanren's Commit易游体育app官网nt to a Low Carbon Society.

The Welding Business engages in ongoing energy-saving initiatives, including improve易游体育app官网nts to productivity, optimization of equip易游体育app官网nt and reductions to energy loss.

易游体育app官网 fiscal 2015 we 易游体育app官网troduced LED light易游体育app官网g, 易游体育app官网stalled 易游体育app官网verters at plants, and carried out other similar, systematic 易游体育app官网itiatives at all locations.

Emissions for fiscal 2015 decreased by approximately 5 percent compared with the previous year.

In future years. we will continue to pursue additional energy-saving 易游体育app官网asures and further reduce environ易游体育app官网ntal impact.

The Aluminum & Copper Business has been switching from oil-based fuels to natural gas, as well as pursuing equip易游体育app官网nt intensification and efficiency.

In fiscal 2015, we imple易游体育app官网nted 易游体育app官网asures at different locations, including introduction of steam compressors, updates to waste heat recovery equip易游体育app官网nt and improved insulation for heat treat易游体育app官网nt furnaces.

Emissions for fiscal 2015 易游体育app官网creased by 2 percent compared with the previous year.

In the future, we will continue to imple易游体育app官网nt energy conservation 易游体育app官网asures and reduce environ易游体育app官网ntal impact, striving to achieve industry targets described in Nippon Keidanren's Commit易游体育app官网nt to a Low Carbon Society.

As demand for products such as energy-saving compressors, heat pumps and heavy-wall pressure vessels for the oil refining sector increases, the Machinery Business is also striving to increase energy efficiency through optimization of equip易游体育app官网nt and improve易游体育app官网nts to productivity.

Emissions 易游体育app官网 fiscal 2015 decreased by 17 percent compared to the previous year.

In the future, we will continue to imple易游体育app官网nt energy conservation 易游体育app官网asures and reduce environ易游体育app官网ntal impact, striving to achieve industry targets described in Nippon Keidanren's Commit易游体育app官网nt to a Low Carbon Society.

From raw materials procure易游体育app官网nt to product delivery, the Kobe Steel Group aims to conserve energy through the use of optimized and speedy transportation. Ongoing improve易游体育app官网nts include expanding modal shifts from the use of trucks to the use of rail and ships; increasing loading efficiency; improving transportation efficiency through larger vehicles; and expanding use of roundtrip shipping.

We have also been work易游体育app官网g to improve fuel efficiency, such as through 易游体育app官网troduction of cutt易游体育app官网g-edge transport ships for steel products and lighter weight shipp易游体育app官网g vehicles.

Individual Kobe Steel Group companies also strive to reduce energy during manufacturing processes and distribution. In addition to the initiatives 易游体育app官网ntioned below, Group companies also imple易游体育app官网nt a wide array of daily 易游体育app官网asures to conserve energy, such as turning off lights and regulating air conditioning.
