Sugar Refining

• Total CO₂ emission in 2010 will be set at 500,000 tons per year. (In 1990 it was 529,599 tons.)
• Will aim to reduce it below 500,000 tons in future.

Measures

• Adopt energy-saving equipment.
• Make efforts to further reduce CO₂ emission by continuing the survey of the actual situation of the sugar refining industry's energy consumption and monitoring the industry's CO₂ emission.

• In 2010, the recycling rate of the filter cake generated in the sugar refining process will be 50% and the final disposal volume reduction rate will be 50%.

Measures

• Due to its components, filter cake does not necessarily have a high value as a resource. New development, therefore, is difficult. However, it will be reused as material for cement and fertilizer.
