Common questions
Where do I find emission factors to calculate my company's CO2 in Japan?
The Ministry of the Environment publishes a free Excel of factors for scopes 1 to 3 with a how-to PDF: 排出原単位データベース (Emission factor database (v3.6)). For electricity, the national reporting scheme list includes each supplier's own factor: 算定方法・排出係数一覧 (National reporting scheme methods and factors).

Yes. SMRJ offers free advice and free sessions of help calculating CO2: カーボンニュートラルに関する支援 (SMRJ carbon neutral support). The Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry's free Excel turns monthly energy bills into CO2: CO2チェックシート (CO2 check sheet).
How does a small business in Japan set a reduction target?
