The government plans to adopt its next basic energy policy in June, with the program serving as a guideline for the country’s medium- to long-term energy policies, sources said Friday.
The focus will be on how much the country can promote the use of renewable energy in realizing its new goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030 from 2013 levels. That goal was announced by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga at a U.S.-sponsored online climate summit Thursday.
