Allocation of funds (as of the end of March 2020)

The aggregate amount of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2020 to Eligible Green Projects that were funded by the net proceeds from the sale of the MUFG Green Bonds issued in July 2019 was US$714 million (for a total of  projects). By type of electricity generation project, solar photovoltaic power, wind power (offshore), and wind power (onshore) accounted for 18%, 59%, and 23%, respectively. In terms of geographical distribution, United Kingdom represented the largest portion, followed by Japan and Netherlands. (See the charts below for details for your reference.) The foregoing amounts are U.S. dollar equivalent amounts calculated based on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies and as of March 31, 2020.

Environmental Impacts (As of the end of March 2020)

The annual energy generation from Eligible Green Projects to which proceeds from the MUFG Green Bonds issued in July 2019 is 16,632 million kWh per year with avoided annual CO2 emissions of 8.38 million tons. MUFG bank's estimated proportion of the CO2 avoidance is 0.74 million tons, which can be obtained as an aggregate amount of multiplying MUFG Bank's share of financing for each eligible green project by CO2 emissions avoided of the project. The annual energy production is calculated based on the below formula with the average capacity factor published by the International Renewable Energy Agency.

 

Annual energy generation (kWh) = capacity of energy generation (kW) × Hours of operation × Average capacity factor (%)

 

The estimated CO2 avoidance is calculated based on the average emission factor published by the International Finance Corporation as below.

 

CO2 emission reductions= Annual energy production (kWh) × Average emission factor (gCO2 / kWh)
