The full picture of Keidanren's new recommendations to achieve the government's goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 has been revealed.
Keidanren's proposal is to use renewable energy such as solar power as the main power source, and to take new measures by combining the utilization of nuclear power and research and development of technology to recover and reuse carbon dioxide emitted from thermal power generation. It is said that it is required.
Then, regarding the reference value of the power source composition in 2050, which the government has shown so far, such as increasing the ratio of renewable energy from 50% to about 60%, "the economic and technical hurdles to overcome are extremely high." He pointed out that, based on the progress of technological development in the future, multiple power source configuration options should be shown.
In addition, he pointed out that the lack of investment capacity of electric power companies, etc. is also an issue, and created a mechanism to attract investment in the electric power industry, such as expanding the new electric power market so that the necessary funds for the construction of power plants can be secured. I'm looking for.
Keidanren will soon announce these recommendations and will strengthen its efforts to reach out to the government and others.
