To reduce CO2 emission to below the FY1990 level of 2.03 tons (carbon equivalent)

1) The enlightenment to the citizen and so on
The variety pamphlets of prevention of global warming were made. The diffusion and the enlightenment were provided in the distribution of information about the each role and behavior of prevention of global warming. (for the citizen, the business man and the children.)
2) The introduction and the promotion of the new energy
A solar optical generation of electrity system was introduced in the public facilities such as elementary school since FY1997, the plan of installation of solar electricity system at 24 elementary schools and the generation of 240kw electricty by FY2001 was made.The actual results were 20 places and 200kw generation in FY2000. A wind force generation of electricty system (10kW) was installed as the facilities of the city in the SENGAKU BOYS HOUSE in FY1999.

With the recognition that Sendai City Office is a large business person, the Sendai City took a lead in making the captioned plan and promoted it with the aims at the reduction of environmental load on the office work. By the 3-8% reduction of "the total electricity consumption","the total consumption of municipal gas, propane gas, kerosene and the heavy oil" and "the consumption of gasorine and light oil", we aim at "5% reduction of the emmission of CO2" in the ratio FY1996. The reduction was only 2.3% in FY2000. (0.7% reduction in FY1999). Sendai City Action Plan was settled on in March 2001.(As for the second term plan, a goal for a greenhouse effect gas reduction will be decided based on the executive plan of Sendai City for a global warming countermeasure).

The revision plan was presented to the city environmental committee in January 2001. The answer in July 2001 was as follows: With 7% reduction of an earth warming gas discharge per person in Sendai in FY2010 in the ratio in 1900, the office must set up the team which promote the CO2 countermeasure. Based on the answer, the revision of the plan and the new executive plan based on the 8 article of a global warming countermeasure promotion law will be settled on in FY2001.

[ % of Achievement ]
The discharge amount per capita is 7.34 tons; 1.01 tons increase(+16%) in the ratio in FY1990.
