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.
