Japan's gas industry allows gas with carbon capture in 2050 net zero plan

Japan Gas Association's Carbon Neutrality Plan: The Japan Gas Association is adopting a more flexible strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, allowing for a mix of 50-90% gas supply from e-methane or biogas and 10-50% from natural gas with carbon capture technologies.

Impact of Global Energy Dynamics: This shift in targets reflects the uncertainties in global energy supply due to geopolitical events like Russia's invasion of Ukraine and acknowledges the challenges in large-scale hydrogen adoption, leading to a greater reliance on natural gas combined with carbon offsetting measures.
