As industry is required to tackle decarbonization, the Japan Paper Association, which is made by paper manufacturers, aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from paper production to virtually zero by 2050. It was.
In response to the government's policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero as a whole by 2050, the Japan Paper Association has decided that the paper industry will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions from paper production to virtually zero. I will aim.
Approximately 45% of the fuel used in the private power generation facilities of paper mills is fossil-derived fuel such as coal and heavy oil.
By switching fuel to renewable biomass resources such as wood, we will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by 2050 by 21 million tons compared to FY2013.
It is said that this will achieve virtually zero emissions.
As industry is required to tackle decarbonization, the Japan Paper Association is considering the use of technology to recover carbon dioxide, and is seeking support from the government and others.
