We will continue the utilization of nuclear power generation with the most emphasis on safety, the maintenance and improvement of the thermal efficiency of thermal power plants, and the development of renewable energies. In addition, with a long-term perspective, we will contribute to the realization of a low carbon society by promoting electrification in society. ○Changes in CO2 emission factor, etc. ※ Our CO2 emission factor for fiscal 2017 was 0.418 kg- CO2 /kWh (after adjustment), and it was great improvement compared to the previous fiscal year. Main factors that we can give are our efforts toward carbon reduction through increased utilization rates for nuclear power, hydroelectric power and, at our Himeji No.2 Power Station, high-efficiency natural gas power generation facilities. ２．Initiatives contributing to the realization of a low-carbon society 13 Initiatives contributing to the realization of a low-carbon society ■Effect of nuclear power generation on CO2 emission reduction Nulear power can greatly contributes to CO2 emission reduction because it does not emit CO2 during the generation unlike fuel power which uses fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
