Japan reiterates vow to cut ratio of coal power generation.
As reported by The EconoTimes on May 30, 2022, Japan’s industry minister Koichi Hagiuda will reiterate Japan’s policy to reduce its coal-fired power generation ratio with plans to phase out inefficient coal power plants by 2030 in dealing with Group of Seven (G7) countries.
The G7 will consider committing to a phase-out of coal power generation by 2030, though sources suggested that opposition from the United States and Japan could derail such a pledge.
Hagiuda made the comments when asked about an expected communique to be issued by energy, climate and environment ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries.
