As a result of using coolers and gas collection methods with low global warming potential in companies outside Japan, non-CO2 emissions were reduced down to 190 thousand tons in a CO2 equivalent basis, even below the target value stated as 220 thousand tons. By renewing facilities and adopting the technology of Internet of Things (IoT) and thus increasing efficiency in production, CO2 caused by energy usage was reduced by 24 thousand tons. By reducing CO2 emissions caused by 102 Mitsubishi Electric eco-products, mainly being information technologies products and electronic devices, by 35%, target goal was reached."
