脱炭素新戦略、検討開始　エネルギー転換へ具体策、来年６月にも―経産省

　経済産業省は１６日、岸田文雄首相が掲げる脱炭素社会に向けた新戦略「クリーンエネルギー戦略」の策定に向けた有識者会議の初会合を開き、議論を開始した。電力会社など供給側だけでなく、産業界など需要側も含めたエネルギー転換に向けた具体的な方策を検討し、来年６月をめどに取りまとめる。
　首相は１０月の所信表明演説で、「温暖化対策を成長につなげるクリーンエネルギー戦略を策定し、強力に推進する」と表明した。新戦略では、菅前政権時にまとめたグリーン成長戦略や、２０３０年度に温室効果ガス排出量を１３年度比４６％削減する目標を明記して岸田政権で閣議決定したエネルギー基本計画をより具体化し、産業構造の転換へ道筋を示す。（2021/12/16-19:49）

An experts' panel under the Japanese industry ministry has kicked off deliberations on drawing up a new clean energy strategy to create a carbon-free society, a key policy of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
   The panel will come up with specifics in June next year after debating measures that should be taken by not only power suppliers but also electricity users, such as businesses, to facilitate a shift to clean energy.
   "I want members of the panel to hold discussions while bearing in mind the need to speed up an energy shift at each sector of both electricity suppliers and users," Shin Hosaka, head of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, said at the panel's first meeting, held Thursday.
   In his policy speech at the Diet, Japan's parliament, in October, Kishida vowed to "compile and strongly promote a clean energy strategy that would spur economic growth through measures against global warming."
   The panel plans to hammer out details of a green growth strategy drawn up by the administration of Kishida's predecessor, Yoshihide Suga, and of a new basic energy program endorsed by the Kishida cabinet in October, which stipulates a goal of reducing Japan's greenhouse gas emissions by 46 pct in fiscal 2030 from the fiscal 2013 level.
