The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change states that to
stabilize the climate system it is necessary to keep average temperatures from
rising more than 2 degrees Celsius on a global basis. Based on this assumption,
Nissan has calculated that “well-to-wheel” CO2 emissions for new vehicles will
need to be reduced by 90% by 2050 compared with levels in 2000. The
efficiency of internal combustion engines will need to improve in the short term
to help achieve this. Over the long term, Nissan also aims to increase the
adoption of electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles (EVs and FCEVs) and
to promote the use of renewable energy to power these technologies while
each country and region moves toward more renewable energy sources.
Nissan is advancing technological development on the basis of this
future scenario. Specifically, it is concentrating its efforts on two pillars: zero
emission,
*1 which involves widespread use of zero-emission vehicles in a
holistic approach to promote a sustainable society, and PURE DRIVE,
*2 which
reduces CO2 emissions by developing fuel-efficient internal combustion
engine technologies and introducing them into the market.
Nissan has also calculated that it needs to reduce CO2 emissions from
its corporate activities by 80% by 2050 compared with levels in 2000.
Accordingly, it plans to continue its energy efficiency measures, leverage the
power storage ability of lithium-ion batteries and expand its use of
renewable energy.
