- *Coal intensity is the amount of coal consumed divided by the electric power sales volume of thermal power plants.
- *The intensity for NOx, SOx, and soot and dust is calculated based on the amount of electricity generated at thermal power plants, which are the source of emissions.
- *For N2O and SF6, we have revised the emission coefficient, global warming coefficient, and emission activities covered by the accounting and reporting system from the FY2023 data, in response to the revision to the ministerial ordinance on GHG emission calculation based on the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
- *Purchased electric power increased because, beginning in FY2025, all electricity used for pumping at pumped storage hydropower plants is recorded in line with a change in the treatment of periodic reports under the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use.

- *1The scope of coverage includes J-POWER and its consolidated subsidiaries and equity-method affiliates in the electric power business and oversea business. Consolidated subsidiaries and equity-method affiliates are aggregated for the portion equivalent to J-POWER’s equity stake.

(4) Transportation and distribution (upstream), (8) Leased assets (upstream), (10) Processing of sold products
(12) Disposal of sold products, (13) Leased assets (downstream), (14) Franchise - *3Beginning in FY2025, in line with a change in the treatment of periodic reports under the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use, all electricity used for pumping at pumped storage hydropower plants is accounted for as purchased electricity under Scope 2. Emissions attributable to pumping amounted to 0.97 million t-CO2 (location criteria) and 1.05 million t-CO2 (market criteria), respectively.
FY2025 Greenhouse Gas Emission Results
- * Beginning in FY2025, in line with a change in the treatment of periodic reports under the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use, all electricity used for pumping at pumped storage hydropower plants is accounted for as purchased electricity under Scope 2.
Emissions attributable to pumping amounted to 0.97 million t-CO2 (location criteria) and 1.05 million t-CO2 (market criteria), respectively.
Calculation Methods in Each Scope 3 Category
- (1)Calculated by multiplying each product or service purchased by respective emission factor
- (2)Calculated by multiplying the capital investment by the emission intensity
- (3)Sum of the following two values
- 1)Emissions from production and transportation of fuel used by the company
- 2)Calculated by multiplying the amount of electricity procured from sources other than the company by the emission intensity
- (5)Calculated by multiplying the amount of waste generated by waste type by the emission intensity of each treatment method
- (6)Calculated by multiplying the number of employees by the emission intensity
- (7)Calculated by multiplying the number of employees and number of business days by work type and by city class, respectively, by the emission intensity
- (9)Calculated by multiplying the ton-kilometers of sold coal transported by the emission intensity
- (11)Calculated by multiplying the volume of coal sold by the emission intensity
- (15)CO2 emissions from power plants in which J-POWER’s equity portion is less than 20%
