Basic estimate data for global warming countermeasures

We have arranged international comparisons of energy efficiency in detail, which are fundamental for the analyses of energy intensity by equipments or sectors. These information is important to those who are promoting global warming countermeasures or setting international framework and targets.

Please refer to the peer-reviewed article mentioned below to see our energy efficiency estimates of power generation sector, iron-and-steel sector and cement sector as of 2005.
