Abstract

<p>The Japan Paper Association（JPA）established its “Voluntary Action Plan on Environment” in 1997, in response to The Japan Business Federation’s call to the Japanese business community to organize “The Voluntary Action Plan on Environment”. Since then, JPA has carried out a follow-up survey and published the results every year.</p><p>As the Voluntary Action Plan finished in fiscal year（FY）2012, JPA newly started “the Action Plan towards a Low Carbon Society” which is renamed “Carbon Neutrality Action Plan（Phase II）” this year and has been actively addressing global warming prevention in order to achieve the following targets set in the plan：</p><p>・Reduce energy derived CO2 emissions by 38％ by FY2030 from the FY2013 level .</p><p>・As a source of CO2 absorption, increase total forest plantation area at home and abroad by 375,000 ha to 650,000 ha by FY2030 from the FY1990 level .</p><p>According to the results of FY 2023 follow-up survey（actual results for FY 2022），fossil-energy derived CO2 emissions in FY 2022 was 14.33 million tons, which is 1.5 million tons lower than those in FY 2021（15 million tons）and is 4.5 million tons lower compared to those in FY 2013（18.83 million tons）.</p><p>This is attributed to each manufacturer’s active efforts including energy saving and energy conversion from fossil energy to non-fossil energy such as biomass energy.</p><p>In addition to the results of the follow-up survey, this report introduces the current energy situation in the Japanese paper industry.</p>
