A panel of experts met Thursday to discuss revisions to Japan’s basic energy plan and efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
Topics included energy-saving measures at workplaces and in households, and the use of new energy sources such as hydrogen.
Japan has been working to revise its basic energy strategy since May. These revisions include meeting future electricity demand using power-saving technology and promoting renewable energy.
The goal of the discussions is to draw up a road map for the government, such as the composition of power sources, including thermal and nuclear, through fiscal 2040. It includes cutting greenhouse gas emissions to virtually zero by 2050.
