Electric Machinery

• Regarding energy conservation at the production stage, the production volume CO₂ unit will be improved more than 25% over 1990 with 2010 as the target year.
• Development and dissemination of energy-saving type household electric appliances. Particularly, the efficiency of refrigerators, which are big electricity consumers at homes, will be improved by more than 6.5% as compared with 1995.
• Developing and supplying power generation machinery and equipment which use non-fossil fuel.

Measures

• Promote adoption of energy-saving equipment.
• Design high efficiency production system.
• Adopt new energy; switch to non-fossil fuel, etc.
• Save on backup power.
• Raise efficiency by improving control method, etc.
• Raise functionability of atomic power generation system.
• Improve efficiency of generator equipment and devices.
• Improve efficiency of solar battery, etc.

• In 2010, the rate of reuse of waste from plants will be raised to 75%. (Rate was 54% in 1991)
• In the same year, the rate of outsourcing of final disposal will be 10%. (26% in 1991)
• Will design consumer electric appliances which are easy to be recycled.

Measures

• Give priority to grappling with the problem of recycling waste alkali and waste plastic whose recycling rate is low.
• Promotion of inter-industry cooperation.
• Search for ways to make it easy to dismantle.
• Standardization of materials used.
• Reduction of the quantity of harmful substances used, etc.

• The electric machine industry will vigorously build the environmental management system and will grapple with the continuous improvement of the environment.
• Efforts will be made to build a setup that is in line with ISO14001.
