53、y of approximately 3GW in half.Additionally,Marubeni will deploy innovative technologies to increase the efficiency of its portfolio assets,and proactively promote the reduction of its environmental impact.2.The Policy on New Coal-Fired Power Generation BusinessAs a general principle,Marubeni will n

244、eement in 2016,and the planning that is under way toward international frame-works for global warming in 2020 and beyond,there has been a rise in interest in diversification of energy sources and renewable energy.Renewable energy sources,including wind,geothermal,solar and hydroelectric power,emit v

245、irtually no carbon diox-ide,a cause of global warming,and do not deplete natural resources.For these reasons,renewable energy can play a significant role in preservation of the global environment.Biodiversity-friendly Micro-scale Hydro-power ProjectsThe Marubeni Group considers micro-scale hydro-pow

246、er generation as an important business area,and has been con-ducting operations in this area through Group company Mib-ugawa Electric Power Co.,Ltd.since 2006.As this business utilizes natural energy sources,consideration for the environ-ment is essential,and we are also actively working on reduc-ti

247、on of waste materials,maintenance of water quality,conservation of energy and resources,and other environmen-tal activities.Marubeni Group Environmental Policy,see page 23.Forest Management Policy,see page 10.“Micro-scale hydro-power”is a term used to refer to small-scale hydropower generation opera

248、tions with output of less than 1,000 kW.These operations do not require the use of dams or other facilities that entail large-scale construction projects,but rather generate power by utilizing streams or agricultural irrigation canals,thus minimizing the development footprint.The environmental impac

249、t on water quality and the water habitat is exceptionally low,and there is no impact on land features or scenic beauty.Once up and running,these operations emit almost no CO2,thereby offering benefits in terms of minimal impact on biodiversity and environmental preservation.Moreover,micro-scale hydr

250、o-power generation can help regions develop more independently as these tech-nologies enable them to generate their own power using their own water resources.In addition to the Mibugawa Power Station,the Marubeni Group currently operates the following micro-scale hydro-power facilities.Producing pow

253、 recognizes that sustainable forest management is of the utmost importance because of the social and economic value that forests provide.The Marubeni Group*3 currently holds 140,000 hectares of tree plantations in Australia and Indonesia(total gross project area is 320,000 hectares).Focusing on euca

254、lyptus,a fast-growing broadleaf tree that matures in six to ten years,and through a controlled cycle of planting,cultivation,man-agement and harvesting,we provide a stable and sustainable supply of wood resources used for pulp and paper.Because we plant on sites that do not threaten the lives and li

255、velihood of local inhabitants and do not harvest natural forests,our forest plantation business is sustainable and demonstrates consideration for the environment and regional communities.3.The Marubeni Groups forest plantation business is conducted by two consolidated subsidiaries:WA Plantation Reso

256、urces Pty.Ltd.(WAPRES)in Australia and PT Musi Hutan Persada(PT-MHP)in Indonesia.Mibugawa Power Station has obtained Eco Action 21*1 cer-tification,the first hydro-power facility to do so.Given that the intake of Power Station No.2,which is located at the highest elevation,is next to a quasi-nationa

257、l park,and the facilities of the Mibugawa Power Station are in a region with high biodi-versity value,we strive not only to avoid destruction of nature,but also to preserve it.As part of that effort,in addition to conducting river cleanup activities and facility maintenance and emergency response tr

258、aining to be prepared for possible oil spills,Mibugawa Power Station takes measures for protec-tion of biodiversity by conducting water quality inspections twice a year,not only to determine whether pollutants are present,but also to check whether the water has the oxygen content required by living

259、organisms.The facility also wel-comes local elementary and middle school students and over 100 residents each year for tours of the power station,and presents exhibits of hybrid power generation systems(wind,solar and hydropower).These and other activities help edu-cate people about renewable energy

260、 and pass on the regions traditional culture.At the Hokuto City Murayamarokkamuraseki Waterfarm,*2 we use existing irrigation canals to supply renewable energy while making appropriate adjustments to the volume of water used to ensure adequate supplies of irrigation water for farm-land and water for

261、 household use.The Marubeni Groups forest management is operated in accordance with standards established by forest certification systems.WAPRES,which operates the forest plantation and wood chip production business in Australia,has obtained Forest Management certification(FSC C016260)*4 and Chain o

280、 stable supply chain capable of meeting demand for small amounts.Environmental and social concerns have been raised over palm oil,a raw material used in fatty acids.These concerns include environmental degradation and biodiversity loss caused in the process of cultivation,as well as human rights vio

281、lations of plantation workers and other adverse impacts on communities.Consequently,requests for the use of fatty acids produced from RSPO certified palm oil that is produced with due consideration for the environment are increasing world-wide,including Japan.Marubeni,which has been selling RSPO cer

282、tified fatty acids directly to certain customers,will begin,for the first time in Japan,to maintain stocks of RSPO certified fatty acids to meet latent customer needs.Marubeni launched its Sustainability Management Commit-tee in April 2018 under the supervision of the president and CEO with the aim

283、of strengthening the companys ESG initia-tives.Through the promotion of RSPO certified products,we will contribute to a sustainable society.10.RSPO(Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil):The RSPO was estab-lished in 2004 by seven organizations,including the World Wildlife Federation(WWF),to meet the in

284、creasing need for environmen-tal-friendly sustainable palm oil.It is a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable palm oil production and utilization,and is man-aged with the cooperation of stakeholders in the seven sectors of the palm oil industry:oil palm producers,processors or traders,con

285、sumer goods manufacturers,retailers,banks/investors,and environmental and social NGOs.Marubeni joined the RSPO as a member on February 22,2015.11.SCCS(Supply Chain Certificate System):The SCCS guarantees that palm oil products in the production and distribution process meet the specified conditions.

286、The system has three certified supply chain models and one credit model.Marubeni achieved SG and MB certifica-tion on October 8,2015.SG(Segregation):The SG supply chain model assures that RSPO cer-tified palm oil and its derivatives delivered to the end user come only from RSPO certified sources.It

287、permits the mixing of RSPO certified palm oil from a variety of sources.MB(Mass Balance):The MB supply chain model administratively mon-itors the trade of RSPO certified palm oil and its derivatives through-out the entire supply chain,as a driver for mainstream trade in sustainable palm oil.RSPO cer

308、perature inciner-ators,and the thermal energy is recovered and used for thermal recycling.Because it processes waste at high tem-peratures of 9001,000C,this incinerator emits virtually no toxic dioxins and meets environmental standards for NOx,SOx and CO2 emissions.environment-related authorizations
