At Fuji Xerox-Fuel Conversion and Introduction of Alternative Energies/Management of Water Resources

As measures to prevent global warming, Fuji Xerox implements fuel conversion and introduces alternative energies. We also manage water resources in order to prevent resource depletion.

Fuel Conversion from Oil to Natural Gas

In addition to steadily implementing energy-saving activities, in order to further promote reductions in the amount of CO2 emissions, we at Fuji Xerox are actively involved in converting the energy source used mainly at our production sites, from oil (fuel oil, kerosene) to liquid natural gases (LNG) that have smaller amounts of CO2 emissions.

Transitions in Fuel Conversion

Upon progressing with efforts for fuel conversion, we significantly increased the percentage of LNG that make up the entire total of energy sources to 71% in 2005, as compared to 3% in 2001. Based on this, we were able to reduce the overall amount of CO2 emissions from 12.4kt-CO2 to 9.9kt-CO2.

in FY2001-Special A heavy oil 0.9kt-CO2/ Kerosene 11.1kt-CO2/ LNG 0.4kt-CO2/ total 12.4kt-CO2 → in FY2002-Special A heavy oil 0.9kt-CO2/ Kerosene 11.8kt-CO2/ LNG 1.0kt-CO2/ total 13.7kt-CO2 → in FY2003-Special A heavy oil 0.7kt-CO2/ Kerosene 7.3kt-CO2/ LNG 3.5kt-CO2/ total 11.5kt-CO2 → in FY2004-Special A heavy oil 0.7kt-CO2/ Kerosene 2.6kt-CO2/ LNG 6.7kt-CO2/ total 10.0kt-CO2 → in FY2005-Special A heavy oil 0.4kt-CO2/ Kerosene 2.5kt-CO2/ LNG 7.0kt-CO2/ total 9.9kt-CO2

Introduction of Alternative Energy Resources

In addition to energy-saving activities and fuel conversion, we are also making efforts at our production plants to introduce alternative energy that uses natural energy in order to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions.

Management of Water Resources

Water is one of the valuable natural resources, and at Fuji Xerox, we are engaged in recycling and reducing the amount of water usage. In the future, to aim for achieving the goal for 2009, which is a target that is consistent throughout the company, we will make efforts to recycle and reduce the water usage.
