[JAPAN] Leading the Smart Transition of the power sector

Use of hydrogen which is expected to be a next-generation clean fuel, and ammonia, which can utilize existing technology and facilities.

  • ・By transitioning to hydrogen-based fuels, we promote Zero-Emission Thermal Power generation. Our goal is to eliminate coal-fired power plants by decommissioning, ceasing operations, and transitioning to ammonia.

  • ・Looking at trends in technological development, use of CCS and CCUS is an option.

  • ・Promoting renewable energy by focusing on offshore wind power.

These initiatives will gradually be specified in more detail as government prerequisites become clearer, and reviewed if there are major changes in such conditions.*1 Consider use of CO₂-free LNG *2 Using green or blue hydrogen/ammonia 2030 - 2040～50 Today 2030CO₂ EmissionIntensity ▲20% 2035CO₂ Emissionsby at least ▲60% 2050 Net-Zero CO₂ Emissions Decommission Coal 100% AmmoniaSubstitution*2 Min. 50% Substitution Min. 20% Substitution​ Coal Practical Application of Floating Technology Off Oga City, Katagami City, and Akita City Promote Further Development of Offshore Wind Energy LNG Coal Promote the Introduction of Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Inefficient Coal-FiredPower Plants (Decommission) Coal-Fired Thermal In-House Power Generation Customers（Advancing GreenInitiatives） LNG-Fired Thermal（Transitioningto Hydrogen *1） High-Efficiency Coal-Fired Thermal Needed for Stable Supply ​（Transitioningto Ammonia） Promoting OffshoreWind PowerDevelopment Hydrogen Substitution *2 Commercial Operation Demonstration Testing of Hydrogen Substitution 石炭 LNG 2030〜 2030〜 2040～50 Today〜2030 Today〜2030 Today〜2030 Today〜 Inefficient Coal-Fired Power Plants(Complete Decommission) High-Efficiency Coal-Fired Thermal Needed for Stable Supply ​（Transitioning to Ammonia） Coal-Fired Thermal In-House Power Generation Customers（Advancing Green Initiatives） CompleteDecommission LNG Min. 20% Substitution​ Min. 50% Substitution Coal Coal Promote the Introduction of Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Coal 100% Ammonia Substitution*2 2030CO₂ Emission Intensity ▲20% 2035 CO₂ Emissions by at least ▲60% 2050 Net-Zero CO₂ Emissions 2040～50 2030〜 2040～50 Today〜2030 LNG-Fired Thermal（Transitioningto Hydrogen *1） LNG Demonstration Testing of Hydrogen Substitution CommercialOperation Hydrogen Substitution ※2 2030〜 2040～50 Today〜2030 Promoting Offshore Wind PowerDevelopment Promote Further Development of Offshore Wind Energy Practical Application of Floating Technology These initiatives will gradually be specified in more detail as government prerequisites become clearer, and reviewed if there are major changes in such conditions.*1 Consider use of CO₂-free LNG *2 Using green or blue hydrogen/ammonia

【Asia】Expanding LNG use will reduce CO₂ Emissions in Asia

  • ・Many Asian countries are facing the problem of unstable power supply.

  • ・Support the expansion of LNG-fired thermal power to replace new coal-fired power plants , thereby curbing CO₂ Emissions associated
    with growth in electricity demand.

  • ・In parallel, we aim to achieve a low-carbon society by introducing renewable energy and promoting the ammonia substitution of coal.
