G7 = The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Kajiyama said after the cabinet meeting after the seven major countries agreed to end export support by the government for coal-fired power generation, which has not taken measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by the end of the year. At a press conference, he expressed his intention to urgently consider the conditions under which the Japanese government can continue to provide support.
At the G7 Summit, which closed on June 13, governments agreed to end the government's support for the export of coal-fired power generation, which has not taken measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by the end of the year.
Regarding coal-fired power generation, the Japanese government has had a policy of continuing to support exports of systems with high power generation efficiency at the request of developing countries, but the focus is on whether it can be continued in the future.
In line with the agreement of the G7 countries, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Kajiyama said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 18th, "Measures to reduce emissions were taken, not from the perspective of improving efficiency." I think it depends on whether or not you are there. "
He added, "The scope of emission reduction measures has not been decided exactly. The situation in each country is different, and the relevant ministries and agencies will work together to consider it." He showed his thoughts to hurry the examination.
