CSR Report 2001 KansaiKansai ElectricElectric Power’sPower’s GlobalGlobal EnvironmentalEnvironmental ActionAction ReportReport 20012001 A Well-Balanced Environment Today and Tomorrow A Message from the President The 20th century saw Man’s wisdom inspire great leaps in science and technology, bringing about hitherto unknown riches and wealth. However, there has been another side to this, too. We now have to grapple with a new kind of problem: global environmental problems such as global warming, ozone layer depletion and acid rain. It was the century that made large-scale production, large-scale consumption and large-scale waste all possible. And now, to create a sustainable ‘metabolic’ society and to prevent environmental problems threatening the very existence of future generations, we must work persistently to produce results through specific activities aimed at environmental protection in the 21st century. As an energy company whose role in society is to supply clean electric power, we have always strived our utmost to preserve the environment, with particular attention being paid to the demands of the age. From the ’90s onward, in particular, we adopted the ‘Kansai Electric Action Plan for Global Environmental Considerations’ based on the ‘Kansai Electric Five Basic Principles of the Action Plan for Global Environmental Considerations’, and have followed these principles in all our areas of business as part of our work toward global environmental protection. As a result of this, mainly owing to the effects of developing power resources based on nuclear power and the safe and stable operation of such facilities, our company has seen its levels of CO2 emissions (volume per 1kwh of electricity consumed) fall to 0.3kg-CO2/kWh, currently, the lowest among domestic power companies. Furthermore, we have been applying the three ‘Rs’ (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) in all our business activities in our efforts to process waste products. Through this and other such activities aimed at benefiting society as a whole, we are striving, along with all the citizens of the world, to build a society which values its material resources. We will continue to take a comprehensive view of our operations from the point of view of conserving the environment, obtaining a stable supply of energy and achieving economic viability and continue to pursue the optimum structure for our power resources (the ‘best mix’). While striving to maintain and improve current levels of CO2 emissions in line with the ‘New Era Strategy’, which constitutes a comprehensive approach to the prevention of global warming, we will continue to work toward the creation of a ‘metabolic’ society. This reports describes our policy toward tackling environmental problems, our goals and the current state of affairs with regard to such activities. We recognize our social responsibility as a company to open up information on environmental preservation to the public. As part of this, we believe that, together with obtaining the trust of all our stakeholders, this is an important prerequisite if we are to succeed in managing the environment. In order to achieve sustainable development throughout the 21st century, we, along with all the citizens of the world, will continue to rise to the challenge of environmental problems, independently and energetically, working ceaselessly to get real results. It is our firm resolve, to strive for environmental management, so please feel free to read this report. We hope that this will give you a better understanding of what we are doing, and we hope that you, in return, will give us your frank opinion and advice on our efforts. Yohsaku Fuji President and Director The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. 2 Overview of Kansai Electric Japan has ten major private electric utility companies demand, which has increased with the growth of the which operate independently. Each company produces and Japanese economy. As of March 31, 2001, the company’s distributes electricity to a specific geographical region of capacity for hydroelectric power is 8,129 MW, fossil fuel Japan. Kansai Electric’s service area is located in the power 19,561 MW, and nuclear power 9,768 MW, making central part of the main island Honshu and covers 28,681 the total capacity 37,458 MW, which is 16 times larger than km2 (8% of Japan’s total land area). This region, generally the initial figure of 2,284 MW in May 1951, when we known as Kansai, includes Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe and began operation. Electricity sold in fiscal 2000 amounted to has a population of 21 million, accounting for 16% of the 142,852 million kWh, accounting for 17% of the total nation’s total. power sold in Japan, or the second largest amount in Japan, Since its establishment, Kansai Electric has emphasized following the Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. the development of power sources to meet electricity ■ System capacity (As of End of Fiscal Year) Fossil fuel Nuclear Hydro 1998 19,921 9,768 8,087 37,776 MW （53％） （26％） （21％） 1999 19,921 9,768 8,107 37,796 MW （53％） （26％） （21％） 2000 19,561 9,768 8,129 37,458 MW （52％） （26％） （22％） 010,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 (MW) ■ Percentage of Total Volume of Electricity Produced (figure includes amount produced by other companies as well) Amount of (Fiscal Year) electricity purchased Nuclear Fossil fuel Hydro from other companies 72,091 42,993 16,177 21,311 1998 152,572 million kWh （47％） （28％） （11％） （14％） 1999 70,388 45,306 13,880 24,138 153,712 million kWh （46％） （29％） （9％） （16％） 70,036 41,141 14,426 30,215 2000 155,818 million kWh （45％） （27％） （9％） （19％） 050,000 100,000 150,000（million kWh） To give a clear picture of the amount of electricity generated and supplied, we have also included the amount of electricity purchased from other companies.

This paper looks at the period after the security. These costs can take a number of forms, 1970s to estimate the cost premium of electricity such as increased fuel costs from sourcing secure generation due to energy security policies. The cost supplies over insecure supplies, infrastructure costs premium is estimated for France, Germany, Italy arising from developing new and more secure and Spain for the period 1980-2000 by estimating systems and processes, and the political costs of actual versus hypothetical lowest cost generation securing and protecting energy supplies. That is, mixes. The cost premium is estimated to be lowest energy policies that seek secure energy will result in for France, which had a clear energy security policy a different energy mix than policies that have sought based on developing nuclear power and reducing the cheapest energy. Comparing the two should give reliance on oil and coal. some indication of the cost of energy security policies. 1.

  • Plant/Crop-Based Renewable Resources 2020 a Vision to E Nhance U.S
    PLANT/CROP-BASED RENEWABLE RESOURCES 2020 A VISION TO E NHANCE U.S. ECONOMIC S ECURITY T HROUGH R ENEWABLE P LANT/CROP- BASED R ESOURCE U SE About This Vision This strategic vision for the plant/crop-based renewables industry was developed by the broad U.S. agricultural, forestry, and chemical communities, with contributions from a wide range of individuals. A uniquely diverse set of American companies, nonprofit groups, trade associations, and academic institutions have come together for the first time to produce a shared vision of the future for this emerging industry. The National Corn Growers Association initiated this effort through a strategic visioning workshop held in St. Louis in December, 1996. The goal of this workshop was to start crafting an industry vision that would lead us into an era where plant/crop-based renewables could serve as comple- mentary resources to conventional feedstocks to meet our ever-growing need for chemicals, materials, and other products. This vision document broadly outlines the poten- tial reaches of this home-grown industry into the core man- ufacturing capabilities of this nation. This document is also an invitation to all readers to participate in developing the technology plans that will make the vision a reality.

    The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development Union Minister's Office Ref: 1 /200(N)/1+h' 040/ nA l2gzz lzAM) Date: I April, 2014 Ms. Patricia Bliss-Guest Head, CIF Administrative Unit CTF Trust Fund Committee 1818 H Street Ir{W Washington, DC 2A433, USA Subject: Expression of Interest for Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program Dear Ms. Bliss-Guest: The government of Myanmar is pleased to submit this expression of interest (EOI) for SREP funding support. Myanmar exhibits a paradox of extreme energy poverty in a land of abundant energy resources. Renewable energy (RE) resources are sufficient to meet most daily energy needs, but less than half of the total population has access to electricity. Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, but has one of the lowest population densities of the region, which imposes an inherent diseconomy of scale for conventional centralized electricity grid development and expansion. Electrification varies widely between urban and rural a.reas. Less than half the population has grid-supplied electricity, and the national power grid covers only 1Vo of 65,000 villages. Considering the broad distribution of abundant RE, resources: biomass, hydropower, solar, and wind. Myanmar has an opportunity to accelerate on- and off-grid electrification with RE, delivering universal electricity access much quicker than conventional centralized generation and grid expansion. Myanmar is confronted with a number of barriers that restrain energy development in general and RE development in particular. The govemment has recognized the need for a modern legal and regulatory framework to provide transparency and certainty which 2 are prerequisites for a viable commercial energy sector.

Introduction and Context Country Context Public Disclosure Copy Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia with a land area of about 654,000 square km. It is located between China, India, and Thailand, with more than 2,800 miles of coastline. This geographic advantage, and its endowed natural resources leaves it well positioned to resume its traditional role as a regional trading hub and key supplier of minerals, natural gas and electric power. Myanmar is one of the poorest countries in East Asia, with an estimated GDP per capita of between $500-800 and a poverty headcount of 26 percent. Since 2011, leaving behind decades of isolation, fragility, and conflict, Myanmar is embarking on a triple transition: from an authoritarian Public Disclosure Authorized military system to democratic governance; from a centrally directed economy to market oriented reforms; and from 60 years of conflict to peace in the border areas.
