TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan s Electric Power Development (J-Power) said on Friday it plans to cut CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 by shutting old coal-fired power plants and upgrading some existing plants with advanced technology such as gasification.
J-Power, the country s biggest coal-fired power generator, also aims to be carbon neutral by 2050, in line with the Japanese government s pledge, by expanding the use of hydrogen.
