We will help realize a carbon-neutral and hydrogen society.
For the future of our beautiful, blue planet,
and for the more than seven billion people who live on it.
The J-POWER Group formulated
J-POWER “BLUE MISSION 2050”
based on the need to expedite its
initiatives for climate change.
We will devote our full efforts to
expanding CO2-free energy sources,
starting with renewable energy,
and to developing CO2-free hydrogen.
Road to 2050
We aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 46% in 2030,
and achieve net zero CO2 emissions in our power generation business in 2050.
Notes:
This roadmap will be updated and refined as needed, depending on government policies and the progress of industrial development. In addition, we will review the contents as relevant factors change.
1: Compared to the actual emissions in FY2013.
2: Including the use of hydrogen extracted from ammonia for power generation.
3: The power network enhancement is an initiative of J-POWER Transmission Network.
Concept
Three Pillars
-
Transition to CO2-free power generation including renewable energy -
Production and supply of CO2-free hydrogen and power generation using it -
Supporting the electric power network with stabilization and enhancement
We will work steadily to achieve carbon neutrality and a hydrogen society,
with acceleration and upcycling as our priorities.
We will accelerate the expansion of renewable energy in Japan and internationally. Domestically, we will do so by working to enhance both power networks and energy sources with output adjustment capability, such as those for pumped storage hydroelectricity and hydrogen power generation.
Through upcycling, which enhances value by adding the latest technologies to existing power generation facilities, we will reduce CO2 emissions quickly and economically.
CO2-free Energy
Renewable Energy
Hydro, wind and geothermal power. Be a leader in renewable energy.
New Developments
1,500 MW new capacity by FY2025. Expand our initiatives globally.
Nuclear Power
Move forward with construction plans for the Ohma Nuclear Power Plant, a CO2-free power source.
CO2-free Hydrogen
Challenges for Hydrogen Energy
Create hydrogen without emitting CO2. Contribute to CO2 emissions reductions for society as a whole.
Hydrogen Supply Chain
From production to use of hydrogen. Steadily advance demonstration tests with commercialization as the goal.
J-POWER GENESIS Vision
Develop technologies in pursuit of an energy system that supports the society of the future.
Power Networks
Stabilization
Use diverse power sources to regulate output. Accommodate fluctuations in renewable energy supply.
Improvements
Contribute to the further growth of renewable energy by expanding and reinforcing power networks.
