据能源世界网4月13日东京报道，根据日本政府周二公布的数据显示，截至2020年3月的一年中，日本温室气体排放量降至历史新低，这是可再生能源使用范围扩大和制造业电力需求减少的结果。
这2.9%的降幅标志着连续六年的减排，而2019年全球温室气体排放量激增至创纪录水平。
根据日本环境部（environment ministry）的修正数据显示，2019/20年度的二氧化碳排放量从上年的12.5亿吨降至12.1亿吨，创下自1990/91年度以来的最低水平，当时日本开始汇编温室气体排放数据。
作为世界第五大碳排放国，日本设定了一个目标，到2030年将碳排放量在2013年的水平上减少26%，达到10.4亿吨。根据最新数据显示，与2013/14年的水平相比，这一数字下降了14%。
鉴于到2050年实现碳中和这一雄心勃勃的长期目标，政府正考虑提高其2030年的目标。
2011年福岛核灾难导致核电站关闭、对化石燃料的依赖性增强后，日本的排放量激增，但已从2013/14年度的14.1亿吨峰值有所下降。
九座反应堆重新启动，是福岛核事故以来重启最多的一次，不过目前只有七座反应堆在运行。
2019财年，可再生能源占发电量1.02万亿千瓦时的18%，同比上升1个百分点。
根据工业部数据显示，核能稳定在6%，火电占76%，下降1个百分点。

Japan's greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.9 per cent in 2019/20 to record low
Japan's greenhouse gas emissions fell to a record low in the year ended March 2020, government figures showed on Tuesday, a result of a wider use of renewable energy and lower electricity demand from manufacturing industry.
The 2.9 per cent decline marks six consecutive years of cuts and comes against a surge in global greenhouse emissions to a record in 2019.
Emissions for 2019/20 fell to 1.21 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, from 1.25 billion tonnes the previous year, to hit their lowest since 1990/91, when Japan began compiling data on greenhouse gas emissions, revised data from the environment ministry shows.
Japan, the world's fifth-biggest carbon emitter, has set a goal to cut emissions by 26 per cent to 1.04 billion tonnes by 2030 compared with 2013 levels. The latest figure represents a reduction of 14 per cent from the 2013/14 levels, data showed.
The government is considering raising its 2030 target in light of the ambitious long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
Japan's emissions surged after the 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima led to the closure of nuclear power plants and boosted reliance on fossil fuels, but have declined from the peak of 1.41 billion tonnes hit in 2013/14.
Nine reactors have been restarted, the most since the Fukushima incident, though only seven reactors are currently operating.
Renewable energy accounted for 18 per cent of electric power generation of 1.02 trillion kilowatt hour (kWh) in the 2019 financial year, up 1 percentage point on the year.
Nuclear energy was steady at 6 per cent, while thermal power made up 76 per cent, down 1 percentage point, industry ministry data showed.
