Japan’s Hydrogen Strategy – A Detour to Carbon Neutrality
A country as developed as Japan should be leading the global clean energy transition. Yet, the progress within its domestic energy market leaves a lot to be desired. What the country needs is to focus on measures aligned to the vision for a more sustainable Japan. And prioritizing renewables instead of hydrogen might be a good starting point.
Japan’s Net-Zero Roadmap: A Focus on Innovation and Investment
At COP26 Japan was a leading voice in funding developing countries, but also stepped away from any commitment to stop coal energy generation. This is not compatible with the country's 2050 net-zero target. Luckily, if coal is phased out Japan does have a robust plan to increase renewable energy capacity that incentivizes private sector involvement.

Yet, there are still a few auto giants that are slow to transition - namely Toyota.
