Environmental Protection

Asahi Kasei has played a leading role in the preparation and institution of the targets of the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA) and the Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) for reduction of greenhouse gas* emissions. We implement emission reduction measures in the following three areas.

• Curtailment of CO₂ emission from power generation.
• Curtailment of emissions of greenhouse gases from production processes.
• Phase-out of greenhouse gases as process materials.

* Carbon dioxide (CO₂) , nitrous oxide (N₂O), methane (CH₄), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆).
