Target

25% Reduction in GHG EmissionsBy 2020 from the 2000 level

Tokyo Climate Change Strategy

Basic Policy

TokyoMetroplitanGovernment

1 Importance to approach the demand side of energy As a large energy consumer, Tokyo has a responsibility to reduce emissions from the demand side of energy

2 Importance to reduce emissions from urban facilities (buildings)　 Promoting measures in the buildings sector is the key to reduce emissions

from urban areas

3 Enable Tokyo to grow in the coming carbon restrain age 　 Taking an advantage of the early shift to a low carbon city to realize sustainable growth of Tokyo

2. Major Programs Tokyo Cap and Trade Program (large facilities)

Tokyo Green Building Program

Program to expand Solar Energy Use

TokyoMetroplitanGovernment

The urban cap and trade program to cover commercial sector buildings including office buildings

Covers approx.40% of commercial & industrial sectors’

emissions

Target facilities: 1,300 facilities

Facilities with annual energy consumption of 1,500 kl or more (crude oil equivalent)

Approx. 1000 commercial & institutional buildings Approx. 300 industrial facilities

okyo Cap & Trade : CoverageT

To achieve the Tokyo’s emission reduction target “By 2020 25% reduction from 2000”, the necessary reduction in industry & commercial sector is 17% reduction

* Current estimation. The Cap for the 2nd compliance period will be fixed by the end of the 1st compliance period

E

1. Emission reductions from small and midsize facilities within the Tokyo area

* Emission reductions through energy-saving measures in smaller facilities not covered by the TC&T

2. Renewable Energy Certificates * Solar energy (heat and power), wind energy, etc.

* No limit for offsetting

3. Emission reductions outside the Tokyo area * Sellers will be assumed to be covered under the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program, and reduction exceeding the

reduction obligation would be counted as offset credit

* Can only buy up to 1/3 of base year emissions

Emission Trading: Offset Credits

Currently, 307 projects, 220 thousand t-CO2 have filed as offset credits

Targeted facilities are subject to submit annual reports every year

Total reduction rate from base-year emission: 10%

59% of targeted facilities have reduced more than obligation reductions

The First Year Report in 2010

Rating and Disclosure System To improve environmental performance of new buildings

Covers about 40% of new buildings

Coverage: Newly planed buildings over 5,000 sq. meters

Purpose: To create a real estate market where greener buildings are valued more

Requirement: Building owner is required to employ eco-friendly design and to submit a “Building Environmental Plan” outlining the building’s environmental performance

Disclosure: Plan with rated result with 3 ratings are displayed on

Power Crisis in this Summer　 Electricity supply-demand status in Tokyo

Electric demand exceeding supply capability from 9:00 to 20:00

Request for total of 11hours energy-saving

The shortage cannot be covered by 15% reduction by large users alone.

Smaller users and household users also need to undertake reduction measures.
