Japan reiterated on Friday its policy to reduce reliance on coal-fired electricity generation as much as possible, with plans to phase out inefficient coal-fired power plants by 2030. In 2021, the country set a target to lower the share of coal-fired power from 32% in 2019 to 19% by 2030. The country will decarbonise coal-fired power by 2050 through the use of hydrogen, ammonia and carbon capture technologies.
