Our Recognition of Urgent Challe

World Trends Surrounding Global Warming
The Paris Agreement came into effect in 2016 with the long-term goal of keeping
the global average temperature rise well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels,
aiming to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions during the second half of
this century. Also, one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), whichcame into effect in the same year, is to implement climate change measures.
Japan, under the “Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures” approved in a
Cabinet meeting in 2016, has set a mid-term goal of reducing greenhouse gasesby 26% from FY2013 levels by FY2030 , as well as emissions reduction targets

for individual sectors (industry, business, household, transportation and energy
conversion) by 2030, toward achieving that goal.
In accordance with these domestic and international trends, industries and companies in Japan are working to prevent global warming on a society-wide as well
as a global level in cooperation with various sectors.

Missions of Electrical and Electronics (EE) Industries
Providing a wide range of products and services
to all sectors

Contribution throughout the value chain
Japanese EE industries have continued to implement energy-saving measures in
the production stage and have strived to manufacture products in an energy-efficient manner while showing an increasing trend in investment amount per CO2
reduction amount. (Fig. 1)
On the other hand, comparison of CO2 emissions at each stage in the life cycle ofproducts shows that some products such as household appliances and industrial
equipment, in particular, tend to generate more CO2 emissions in a product usage
than production stage. (Fig. 2)
Therefore, we will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the entire value
chain by improving the energy efficiency of appliances and devices, advancing thedevelopment of IT/IoT solutions enabling more efficient energy usage, and spreading these improvements and development throughout society. (Fig. 3)

Japanese EE industries supply a variety of products and services (appliances,
devices, solutions, etc.) to many sectors, including industrial, business, household,transportation and energy conversion sectors. With such characteristics in mind,
we aim to contribute to the prevention of global warming, while having our sights
set on the entire value chain.

nges in View of Global Warming
Electrical and Electronics Industries’ “Action Plan for Commitment to a Low Carbon Society” (Reduction of Energy-oriented CO2 Emissions)Japanese EE industries have participated in the Action Plan for Commitment to a
Low Carbon Society*1 formulated by Keidanren toward 2020, and are aiming to
improve energy efficiency of production processes by 1% annually on average.
Also, for the purpose of contributing to CO2 emission reductions in society throughproducts and services, we have developed guidelines for quantifying CO2 emission
reductions and disclose the results of the whole industry annually.
Furthermore, we have formulated Phase II*2 of the Action Plan for Commitment toa Low Carbon Society, and continue to make efforts toward achieving targets for2030. (Figs. 4, 5 and 6)
We also support and participate in industry initiatives for quantifying contribution
to avoided emissions, through the global value chain promoted by the Japanese
government.

*1 In December 2009, Keidanren declared the establishment and promotion of a plan for a new voluntary
initiative with targets for 2020, called the "Commitment to a Low Carbon Society". Keidanren requested theparticipating industries to publicly announce and pursue a set of voluntary initiatives in line with the following
four pillars in the interest of fostering the development of a global-scale low-carbon society: a) establishmentof CO2 emission reduction targets for domestic business operations up to the year 2020; b) promotion of CO2
emission reductions through product and service life cycles; c) promotion of international cooperation andcontributions; and d) promotion of mid-to-long term innovative technological development that contributes
to the achievement of a low-carbon society. As of January 2013, 36 types of industries, including the EE
industries, had announced their participation in the Commitment to a Low-Carbon Society.
http://www.keidanren.or.jp/policy/2013/003.html*2 In April 2015, Keidanren announced the establishment of Phase II of the Commitment to a Low Carbon
Society as part of further efforts by the Japanese business community for 2030.

Our Contribution to Energy Saving andSociety-wide Energy Saving and Low Carbonization through Products and Services
Companies in Japanese EE industries promote cooperation between various
interested groups by providing a variety of technologies, products and services
to domestic and international sectors, including industrial, business, household,transportation and energy conversion sectors, and contribute to energy saving andlow carbonization on a global scale.

Examples of contribution in each sector
Renewable energy

High efficiency motors

Energy conversion sector

Renewable energy is spreading at an impressive rate around the world, andJapan's 5th Strategic Energy Plan states that renewable energy is to become amajor power source. Companies in Japanese EE industries are promoting the useof renewable energy on a global scale.

Industrial sector

High-efficiency motors (top runner motors) specified as target products for the
Top Runner Progra*4 are expected to reduce power loss by approximately 35%
compared to the conventional JIS C 4210: 2010 standard values. According to
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's estimation, the amount of power
reduction expected when all conventional-type motors are replaced by IE3 motors(premium efficiency) will be about 15.5 billion kWh per year, which is equivalent
to about 1.5% of Japan’s total power consumption. Thus, Top Runner motors are
expected to bring about an extremely great energy-saving effect. (Fig. 8)

Photovoltaic power generation
Companies in Japanese EE industries have proceeded with efficiency improvement andcost reduction of large-scale photovoltaic power generation (mega solar), andworked on its promotion domestically andinternationally.
In Mongolia, companies are promoting
a project that utilizes the Joint Crediting
Mechanism (JCM), in which the introduction of 10 MW photovoltaic power generMega solar photovoltaic power plant
ation is expected to reduce CO2 emissions (Mongolia)
by approximately 18,000 tons per year.

*4 This requires standards of energy-saving performance of home electric appliances and fuel economy
performance of automobiles to be higher than or equal to those of products with highest performancecurrently on the market.

Fig. 8 Efficiency of motors and their loss reduction rates (e.g., motors with
50Hz, 4 magnetic poles and 7.5kW)

Geothermal power generation
Geothermal power generation can generate large energy stably. Especially in the Middle
East and East Africa regions, where power demand is expected to grow in the future,plans for the construction of many new
geothermal power plants are scheduled to
be built.
For example, Kenya has set a development target to expand its geothermal
power generation capacity to 5,000 MW
by 2030. Companies in Japanese EE
industries are participating in the plan Olkaria Geothermal Power Plant (Kenya)by supplying equipment such as steam
turbines and generators to geothermal power plants built there.

FEMS

Wind power generation

Industrial sector

To reduce energy consumption in an entire factory, companies in Japanese EE
industries are promoting the spread of FEMS*5, a factory energy management
system that monitors energy consumption, conditions peak power, and controls
the operation of air conditioning, lighting equipment and production lines depending on the situation.
These companies are also developing IT/IoT solutions to improve production efficiency through total visualization of data from watt-hour meters and water meters
as well as data on the operational status of production lines within a factory.

Development of offshore wind power generation, which is expected to generate
electricity from stable and strong winds,
is in progress worldwide.
In Fukushima Prefecture, Japan,
demonstration projects (2 MW, 5 MW
and 7 MW) are being conducted for thecommercialization of the large floating
offshore wind turbine system developed
particularly for places with steep sub- Floating offshore wind turbine system (offthe coast of Fukushima Prefecture)marine topography.

Energy-saving household appliances

Business sector

Companies in Japanese EE industries are promoting the spread of BEMS*6, abuilding energy management system that supports optimum energy operation byvisualizing energy usage status in office buildings and by controlling air conditioning, lighting, storage batteries, and so on.
Initial costs can be reduced by using cloud technologies, which has led to anincrease in its introduction in small and medium-sized buildings. Depending on
the facility and the manner of operation, the introduction of a BEMS is expected toreduce energy consumption by approximately 10%. (Figs. 9 and 10)

Household sector

Many household appliances and office equipment are specified as target products
for the Top Runner Program under Japan's Energy Conservation Act. Companies
in Japanese EE industries have realized significant enhancement of energy-saving
performance by steadily making progress in the improvement of energy efficiency
and the reduction of standby power consumption through development and introduction of innovative technologies. (Fig. 11)

Use of high-efficiency LED lighting that has high energy-saving performance andadoption of lighting design appropriate for each usage are enabling accelerationof energy savings in the entire office building.
There is a case in which an office that had full LED installation in its ceiling lighting successfully reduced the expense of lighting up to almost one-third of that offluorescent lighting, with a combination of personal control, motion sensors anddaylight sensors.

Traffic monitoring system

Transportation sector

Increase in CO 2 emissions due to traffic
congestion poses environmental problems,particularly in developing countries. To resolve
this, companies in Japanese EE industries arepromoting the spread of a traffic monitoring
system that effectively limits environmentalload and traffic congestion by detecting traffic Image of traffic monitoring systemcongestion and accidents on a real-time basiswith a high degree of accuracy, and by optimally controlling traffic lights by utilizing AI and IoT technologies. This system has been introduced in various countries,
including Indonesia and the Philippines.

HV, PHV and EV

Transportation sector

With the tightening of environmental regulations in each country, HVs, PHVs andEVs*8 have already started to spread around the world.
HVs, PHVs and EVs are loaded with many electronic devices such as batteries
and motors instead of conventional engines. It is also necessary to constructcharging facilities. Companies in Japanese EE industries are proceeding with thedevelopment of electronic devices and charging facilities for HVs, PHVs and EVs,
contributing to their spread.

Power electronics

In the field of thermal power generation (coal, oil, and natural gas), which supplies
almost 70% of the electricity consumed in the world, companies in Japanese EE
industries are working on the improvement of power generation efficiency by using
new technologies such as higher steam temperature and pressure, pulverized-coal
combustion, and combined operation of gas turbines and steam turbines.
As a result, efficiency of domestic thermal power generation is currently top classin the world. Furthermore, these companies are working on technological development to improve efficiency by integrating solid oxide fuel cells with combined gas
turbine systems (triple combined cycle system). (Fig. 14)

Power electronics products are key devices that play a crucial role in power
conversion and control. They contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society
by advancing energy-savings for home electric appliances, electric vehicles andrailways, as well as for power supplies. (Fig. 15)

Smart Grid and Smart Community

IT/IoT solutions

Companies in Japanese EE industries are developing “Smart Grid” which is anext-generation power transmission network which provides stable supply of power under optimal control of both supply and demand sides by combining renewable energy such as wind and photovoltaic power generation with conventional
power generation methods and large-capacity batteries. They are also developing“Smart Community”, which realizes energy savings based on the Smart Grid.
These companies have been proactively participating in demonstration projects*10
for Smart Community development in Japan and overseas. (Fig. 17)

Much attention is being given to IT/IoT solutions that take advantage of technologies such as IoT, AI, big data and robots.
IT/IoT solutions extract knowledge for solving problems by analyzing real-world
data collected by sensors using AI and big data, which is utilized for optimal
control and automatization by robots. This will make it possible to realize not only
labor savings and efficiency improvement of factories and distribution but also newservices such as sharing, contributing to the improvement of energy and resource
efficiency throughout society as a whole. Companies in Japanese EE industries
are working on the development and promotion of innovative IT/IoT solutions. (Fig.

Our Future Facing
Global Warming Prevention

Initiatives for International Cooperation
International Cooperation in Promoting Low-carbon and Energy-efficient Products

Energy Performance Evaluation on Data Centers(DPPE)

Currently, policy introduction to promote high-efficiency products and the methods
to appropriately evaluate energy-saving performance are under discussion invarious ways in Japan while considering international frameworks. Japanese EE
industries are proactively participating in these frameworks and making efforts topromote low-carbon and energy-efficient products on a global scale.

The amount of information that data centers handle has been growing exponentially due to the spread of cloud-type services and IoT, and it has drasticallyincreased energy consumption.
Under such circumstances, Japan, the United States and Europe collaborated todevelop a set of metrics (DPPE*14) that evaluate energy efficiency of data centers
using four elements. DPPE is the world’s first successful holistic framework which
includes a metric evaluating the usage of green energies and an index to express
energy efficiency of facility and IT equipment.
The four metrics which constitute DPPE were proposed to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC39 as
new work items (three of them were proposed by Japan) and approved in 2014,
and all of them had been issued as international standards by 2017. (Fig. 21)

Initiatives for international standardization in theelectric and electronic products sector
Regarding international standardization of quantification, reporting, and verificationof greenhouse gas emissions, Japanese EE industries are advancing developmentof rational and transparent methodologies appropriate for the electric and electronic products sector (IEC*11, etc.).
Also, through participation in activities to promote high-efficiency products under
IPEEC*12 and in the implementation agreement for energy-saving evaluation by IEA*13,
we are making various proposals globally for greenhouse gas emission reduction while
also promoting the excellent energy-saving performance of Japanese electric andelectronic products. (Fig. 20)*14 DPPE: Datacenter Performance Per Energy
