3 Use fuel and energy efficiently

The problem of global warming is an issue that should be
addressed on a global scale. As CO2 accounts for the largest
emissions among greenhouse gases and is thus considered
to have the largest impact on global warming, railways havethe outstanding characteristic of being highly energy efficientcompared to other transportation modes and having minimal
adverse impact on the global environment. Railways accountfor only 7% of CO2 emissions despite undertaking 25% ofJapan’
s overall passenger transport volume. Compared
to an aircraft (B777-200), the Tokaido Shinkansen (Series

N700“Nozomi”) consumes approximately one-eighth of
the amount of energy per seat when traveling between
Tokyo and Osaka and discharges about one-twelfth of theCO2 emissions, proving that the Tokaido Shinkansen has
overwhelming environmental superiority. JR Central believes
that having as many passengers as possible opt to use railway
services, which have a smaller environmental impact thanother modes of transport, will mitigate the load placed on
the environment across the entire transportation sector andcontribute to global environment preservation.

Contribution to global environment preservation and the achievement of a decarbonized society
Of the 1.25 million tons of CO 2 emitted by JR Central,
approximately 95% is indirectly emitted through our use ofelectricity, while the remaining 5% is directly emitted throughour use of fuels, etc. To address the 5% direct emissions
from the use of fuels, we introduced the Series HC85 with
reduced environmental impact and promote tests on biofuels.
In addition, we have begun conducting simulated runningtests combining railcar driving test equipment and hydrogen
supply equipment for the development of hydrogen-powered
railcars and will continue to conduct research on battery
railcars. To address the indirect emissions from the use ofelectricity, which account for the remaining 95% of the total,
we will work to utilize renewable energy while making further
energy-saving efforts, such as introducing additional energyefficient rolling stock, including the N700S and Series 315, andreplacing frequency converters for the Tokaido Shinkansen
one by one with types with lower power loss, in addition topromoting decarbonization efforts across the entire power
generation sector in Japan.
We also endorsed the recommendations of the Task Forceon Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)* in May 2021,
based on which we are analyzing the risks and opportunities

Energy-saving - Facility improvement On the Tokaido Shinkansen, frequency converters are
installed in sections east of the Fuji River to convert the 50Hz
electricity received from the power company into the 60Hz
electricity required for the Shinkansen to run. In the period
from FY2021 to FY2027, two units of conventional, rotatingtype frequency converters at Nishi-Sagami were replaced withstationary-type units with less power loss. In addition, thedevelopment of technology to suppress instantaneous large

currents caused by ground faults in overhead wires and to
avoid overloads caused by train schedule disruptions, etc. has
made it possible to make all frequency converters stationary.
We plan to replace the two Tsunashima units with stationary
types by the end of 2037. These replacements are expected
to reduce electricity consumption by approximately 80 million
kWh per year.

Renewable energy ut ilizat ion
Of our facilities, the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park and theHamamatsu Workshop have installed solar power generation
systems. The systems generate power of approximately 450,000
kW per year each at the respective facilities. In addition, since
FY2022, we have been working to achieve net zero CO2emissions of electric railcars on the Taketoyo Line by purchasing
and using FIT non-fossil fuel energy certificates* 1 worth
approximately 2 million kWh, the annual electricity volume used
for the operation of electric railcars on this line, from ElectricPower Development Co., Ltd.
In 2024, we plan to begin the work to install a solar power
generation system that uses the Tokaido Shinkansen’s tracksideslopes. The maximum output of 2.7MW is planned, using
trackside slopes suitable for solar power generation along theTokaido Shinkansen (Shin-Yokohama - Nagoya). The power

output, of approximately 2.7 million kWh annually, equivalent
to the power requirement of approximately 650 ordinary
households, will be used mainly at nearby Shinkansen stations*2.

Initiatives on resource recycling
JR Central strives to recycle resources, promoting“three Rs”(reduce, reuse and recycle) initiatives, including

reducing waste discharge from construction work, utilizing
rainwater, reusing uniforms, and recycling train tickets.

Recycled aluminum from Tokaido Shinkansen rolling stock
Recycled aluminum made by removing impurities from
scrapped Tokaido Shinkansen train cars is molded andprocessed for intended purposes and reused in a variety of
products. The N700S car uses recycled aluminum for interior
parts. As we have ensured reliability and quality as a car
body material, by establishing an aluminum sorting process,we will use recycled aluminum in parts of the car body that
require strength in the future. In addition, we provide recycled
aluminum as an interior construction material for the Shin-Yoko Gateway Spot waiting room at Sagami Railway andTokyu Railways Shin-Yokohama Station and jointly developed
a metal baseball bat for children with Mizuno Corporation.
Another plan is to use it for the Iida Line Shimoji Stationbuilding, which is scheduled to be rebuilt in the second half of
FY2023. Recycled aluminum from Tokaido Shinkansen rollingstock can reduce CO2 emissions from the production processby 97% compared to newly manufacturing regular aluminum,
reducing environmental impact.

Sustainability initiatives at hotels
JR Tokai Hotels Co., Ltd. is striving to reduce the amountof plastic products it provides, such as by providing paper
straws and take-out tableware made from alternative
materials. In addition, Hotel Associa Takayama Resort
has registered as Takayama City's“Hida Takayama SDGs
Partner”and is contributing to the reduction of foodwaste by developing
Hamburg steak thatuses scraps of Hida
beef and menu items
that incorporate locallysourced ingredients.

Tableware made from alternative
materials

Sustainable public procurement
JR Central implements a green procurement policy,
prioritizing the procurement of environmentally friendly
materials. To this end, we established the JR Central GreenURL

Procurement Guidelines to enhance coordination with our
suppliers and work with them to contribute towards global
environment preservation.

https://company.jr-central.co.jp/company/material_procurement/_pdf/green_guide_line.pdf

Conservation of biodiversity and coexistence with local communities
In order to reduce the impact of our business activities
on ecosystems and contribute to local communities, we areworking to conserve biodiversity in cooperation with external
companies and organizations.

For example, in order to promote the conservation of thenatural environment of the Southern Alps, we engage inthe following initiatives to support local residents' efforts toconserve alpine plants and improve forests.

Conservation of alpine flora

Manufacturing process and usage examples (metal bats and station building) of Recycled aluminum from Tokaido Shinkansen rolling stock*Images in ② and ④ courtesy of SUS Corporation, and image of bats, of Mizuno Corporation

Tokaido Shinkansen upcycling
We process fabric from Tokaido Shinkansen seats anduniforms that had previously been discarded and use it inan“upcycling”project to recycle it into new products. In
addition to recycling the fabric from seats removed in vehicle
inspection and maintenance work into products such asslippers, we recycle old customer-service uniforms replacedwith new ones into products such as mini shoulder bags.

In Japan’s Southern Alps, there has been the issue ofloss of flower fields due to deer depredation and sediment
discharge, among others. In Nagano Prefecture, the Southern
Alps Counter-Depredation Association has been implementing
measures to protect alpine flora by installing deer-proof
fencing and capturing Japanese deer, among other measures.
JR Central entered into a Biodiversity Partnership Agreementwith the Southern Alps Counter-Depredation Association andNagano Prefecture in March 2022 to provide partial support
for the expenses necessary for alpine plant conservation
activities conducted by the Association, which has contributed
to the expansion of the protected area. In addition, ouremployees take part in the work to install deer-proof fences.

Forest maintenance

In the areas centered around the Southern Alps UNESCO
Eco Park, JR Central is supporting the efforts of the local
communities to maintain forests. In January 2023, wenewly entered into a Forest Maintenance Agreement withthe municipality of Hayakawacho and the Hayakawacho
Forest Owner’s Cooperative in Yamanashi Prefecture andin June 2023, a Forest Foster Parent Agreement with theKamiina Forest Association, etc. in Ina, Nagano Prefecture.

We currently engage in support activities in four locations,
including Fujikawacho, Yamanashi Prefecture, andOoshikamura, Nagano Prefecture where we signed similar
agreements in 2022. We aim to continue the effort to“protect,utilize and nurture”the natural environment of the Southern
Alps as a whole, together with the people in the local
communities involved.

Reuse of lead-acid batteries for level crossingsOn conventional lines, we annually replace a certain numberof lead–acid batteries installed in level crossing facilities as a
backup power supply in case of power outages. We began
in June 2023 to test a process for recycling and reusing usedlead-acid batteries at some level crossing facilities, using Rent
Corporation's lead-acid battery recycling technology. If therequired performance and durability are confirmed through67

CENTRAL JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY Integrated Report 2023

the tests, we plan to gradually introduce recycled lead-acidbatteries, which will contribute to not only the reductionof waste but also the reduction of CO2 emissions. We notethat CO2 emissions from recycling lead-acid batteries can be
reduced to levels more than 90% lower than CO2 emissions
from manufacturing them.

Initiatives on compliance with laws and regulations
As part of our efforts to preserve the global environment,
we annually conduct compliance surveys of all workplaces
to ensure compliance with various environmental laws andregulations and appropriately manage chemical substances,

etc. Furthermore, we conduct internal audits to confirm thecompliance status of each workplace and provide feedbackon the results in an effort to ensure thorough compliance.

appropriately.
Furthermore, while we had been using oil-based paintcontaining volatile organic compounds (VOC) for full body
painting of trains on the Shinkansen and conventional lines,
we introduced the country’s first water-based paint coating

robot for the Shinkansen in our Hamamatsu Workshop in
2017, enabling environmentally friendly water-based painting.
We also introduced the country's first water-based paintcoating robot for the front of trains on conventional lines in
