Sharp aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its worldwide business activities to such an extent that, by fiscal 2010, the quantity of greenhouse gases emitted that year will equal the quantity of greenhouse gases avoided that same year through customer use of both Sharp solar cells sold during the preceding 20 years and of Sharp energy-saving products.
By reducing as much as possible the amount of greenhouse gases emitted as a result of Sharp's worldwide business activities, while at the same time, significantly increasing the magnitude of reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through customer use of Sharp energy-creating solar cells and energy-saving products, the net reduction in greenhouse gases will more than balance out the level of emissions by fiscal 2010.
For fiscal 2006, greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 1.73 million t-CO2.
In contrast, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy created by solar cells was approximately 560,000 t-CO2.
