Mitsubishi wants to reduce emissions.


Mitsubishi Electric Corporation wants to reduce the carbon emissions from both production and product use by 2001, as well as advance photovoltaic efficiencies and boost its recycling rates.

Mitsubishi laid out their goals in ‘ Environmental Vision 2021’. That’s a long-term management framework that targets 2021 because that is the 100th anniversary of Mitsubishi.

The company conduct large-scale nature preservation and education activities, as well as train 1000 of its workes to become ‘part of the next generation of leaders’, as well as promoting its forest nuturing and preservation activities.

Mitsubishi is using fiscal 2000 as a baseline to measure future carbon emissions reductions. It wants to cut 30 percent of the emissions associated with the use of its products because usage emits as much as 50 percent more carbon emissions than production.

Therefore, Mitsubishi believes that making their products more energy efficient will drastically reduce CO2 emissions.

Mitsubishi will introduce energy-saving air conditioners and other products at its business sites, as well as introduce more photovoltaic (PV) solar systems to cut production-related emissions while expanding business. It will spend about .1 percent of its production value on the energy-saving measures, as well as work to advance module efficiency. Mitsubishi wants to reduce the amount of materials used in its operations by 30 percent, as well as avoid sending waste to landfills.

I think the reducing of carbon emmissions and the innovation of less polluting air conditons and other car items, could help us to stop the huge exhaust pollution of old and 'ingreen' cars. Mitsubishi should be the performer of this initiative, so that the rest of market will follow in innovating non polluting car items.
