據能源世界網4月13日東京報道，根據日本政府周二公布的數據顯示，截至2020年3月的一年中，日本溫室氣體排放量降至歷史新低，這是可再生能源使用范圍擴大和制造業電力需求減少的結果。

　　這2.9%的降幅標志著連續六年的減排，而2019年全球溫室氣體排放量激增至創紀錄水平。

　　根據日本環境部（environment ministry）的修正數據顯示，2019/20年度的二氧化碳排放量從上年的12.5億噸降至12.1億噸，創下自1990/91年度以來的最低水平，當時日本開始匯編溫室氣體排放數據。

　　作為世界第五大碳排放國，日本設定了一個目標，到2030年將碳排放量在2013年的水平上減少26%，達到10.4億噸。根據最新數據顯示，與2013/14年的水平相比，這一數字下降了14%。

　　鑒于到2050年實現碳中和這一雄心勃勃的長期目標，政府正考慮提高其2030年的目標。

　　2011年福島核災難導致核電站關閉、對化石燃料的依賴性增強后，日本的排放量激增，但已從2013/14年度的14.1億噸峰值有所下降。

　　九座反應堆重新啟動，是福島核事故以來重啟最多的一次，不過目前只有七座反應堆在運行。

　　2019財年，可再生能源占發電量1.02萬億千瓦時的18%，同比上升1個百分點。

　　根據工業部數據顯示，核能穩定在6%，火電占76%，下降1個百分點。

　　Japan's greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.9 per cent in 2019/20 to record low

　　Japan's greenhouse gas emissions fell to a record low in the year ended March 2020, government figures showed on Tuesday, a result of a wider use of renewable energy and lower electricity demand from manufacturing industry.

　　The 2.9 per cent decline marks six consecutive years of cuts and comes against a surge in global greenhouse emissions to a record in 2019.

　　Emissions for 2019/20 fell to 1.21 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, from 1.25 billion tonnes the previous year, to hit their lowest since 1990/91, when Japan began compiling data on greenhouse gas emissions, revised data from the environment ministry shows.

　　Japan, the world's fifth-biggest carbon emitter, has set a goal to cut emissions by 26 per cent to 1.04 billion tonnes by 2030 compared with 2013 levels. The latest figure represents a reduction of 14 per cent from the 2013/14 levels, data showed.

　　The government is considering raising its 2030 target in light of the ambitious long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

　　Japan's emissions surged after the 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima led to the closure of nuclear power plants and boosted reliance on fossil fuels, but have declined from the peak of 1.41 billion tonnes hit in 2013/14.

　　Nine reactors have been restarted, the most since the Fukushima incident, though only seven reactors are currently operating.

　　Renewable energy accounted for 18 per cent of electric power generation of 1.02 trillion kilowatt hour (kWh) in the 2019 financial year, up 1 percentage point on the year.

　　Nuclear energy was steady at 6 per cent, while thermal power made up 76 per cent, down 1 percentage point, industry ministry data showed.
