production and co-firing Applying CCUS/carbon recycling technology
Roadmap
Up to 2030 Up to 2050
Improve capacity factor, etc.
Promote development of renewables (in and outside Kyushu, overseas)
Create a zero-carbon society with local communities by developing local energy source systems
(Note) This roadmap has been developed based on the Japanese government’s energy policies and on the premise that there exists a balance between economic rationality and innovations
that foster progressive technology. The roadmap will be reviewed appropriately if the assumptions change significantly due to future changes in circumstances.
The CO2 reduction target for FY2030 will be discussed in the future based on the contents of the next Basic Energy Plan.

renewables:
5,000 MW
(Household/business) Promote all-electric homes and electrification in the commercial sector (air conditioning,
hot/water supply, etc)
(Transport) Run businesses and provide services to promote EVs
(Industry) Research technology of energy conversion equipment, e.g. heat pumps / Electrify heating demand across a wide range of temperature zones
Contribute to fully

household / business
sectors
Research next-generation light water reactors, SMRs,HTGRs, etc.
Research hydrogen production
Consider building hydrogen/ammonia supply chain
Phase out inefficient coal-fired power
Research hydrogen / ammonia Increase the co-firing rate and shift to single-fuel firing
Establish control technology for integrated DER Roll out aggregation business
