TOKYO, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Japan laid out a “green growth strategy” on Friday that includes a goal to replace new gasoline-powered vehicles with electric cars by the mid-2030s to reach net zero carbon emissions and generate nearly $2 trillion a year in green growth by 2050.

Japan’s electricity demand is expected to increase 30%-50% from current levels by 2050 due to electrification in industrial, transportation and household sectors.
The country aims to expand renewable energy as much as possible by 2050, with the reference goal of renewable energy sources accounting for 50% to 60% of the nation’s power supply by 2050, up from 18% in the financial year ended March 2020.

The $831 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act earmarked $90 billion for clean energy and climate-related programs. Its massive size, more than 10 times larger than previous clean energy bills, placed thousands of bets on energy efficiency, grid modernization, transportation, and renewable energy technologies across the country. “And it worked, unbelievably,” said Michael Grunwald, a journalist who wrote a book on the 2009 stimulus plan.

Tata Steel that was among the largest gainers in the Nifty stocks also touched fresh 52-week high on Thursday. With rising steel demand and realizations in the country, street sentiments remain upbeat on the company that is an integrated steel manufacturer.
