Japan's 2040 energy plan aims to enhance energy security and support industrial growth by prioritizing renewable energy as the primary electricity source, increasing energy self-sufficiency to 30-40%. The strategy includes a balanced mix of renewables, nuclear power, and liquefied natural gas, with ambitious targets for offshore wind capacity and hydrogen consumption. The plan seeks to achieve a 60% reduction in emissions by 2035 and 73% by 2040 compared to 2013 levels.
