CO₂ Emission Reductions Expected from Government-Subsidize Projects and Their Contribution to the Global Warming Countermeasure in Japan

Abstract

This paper presents general evaluations using government public data, about how CO₂ emission reductions expected from the government-subsidized projects contribute to the global warming countermeasures in Japan. It also evaluates how the CO₂ reductions of the government-subsidized projects significantly contribute to achieve the total CO₂ reduction targets established by the government. It was found that the cost performance from the typical government-subsidized projects is about twice as much as the cost performance of all the government projects, and that the expected CO₂ reductions of the government‒subsidized projects contribute enough to achieve the total CO₂ reduction targets of the government.
