A fuel-based inventory of NOx and SO2 emissions from manufacturing industries in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

摘要: Abstract In order to attain the 2010 target of reducing, nationally, greenhouse gases by 6% 1990 level, with reference Kyoto Protocol, Government Japan has planned and implemented some measures. This paper discusses possible impacts these measures on nitrogen-oxide sulfur-dioxide emissions from manufacturing industries in Hiroshima Prefecture. Trends emission twenty-three types Prefecture, calculations based fuel consumption, are presented for 20 years (1990–2010). Three scenarios were developed, related achievement particular together Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) voluntary action plan environment. Predictions show that may be decreased 18.9 21.5 kton 15.1 14.2 2010, respectively if Japanese energy policy targets plans successfully implemented. If they less implemented, annual could decrease 17.9 will same 1990s level.
