Japan expects non-fossil fuel power supply sources to account for roughly 60% of the country’s energy mix says an article on SP Global.
Power supply drive
Japan set for 60% non-fossil fuel power supply drive in fiscal 2030-31 (April-March) under a draft Strategic Energy Plan released July 21 more than double the 24% share in FY 2019-20 as the country aims to match its 46% greenhouse gas emissions or GHG reduction target by the end of this decade.
Strategic Energy Plan
Japan’s LNG share in the energy mix is set to be around 20%, coal 19%, and oil 2% in FY 2030-31 under an outlook in the Strategic Energy Plan, compared with 37% for LNG, 32% coal, and 7% oil in FY 2019-20, according to the draft.
The draft of the Strategic Energy Plan, the country’s principal energy policy, showed a significant shift in Japan’s energy policy focused on decarbonizing the energy sector, which accounts for 80% of the country’s GHG emissions, in its efforts toward 2050 carbon neutrality.
