    Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Summary: Japan should completely phase out coal by 2030. █ Coal-fired power generation emits more carbon dioxide (CO2) than any other method of generating electricity. In order to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) as called for under the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to quickly decarbonize our energy sources. According to several research reports, that means we need to completely phase Japan Coal Phase-Out: out coal power plants, which obviously means halting new coal plant construction and also strategically retiring existing plants. For coal-fired power generation in Japan, the country must cancel all current planning for new construction, and also retire all existing coal The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 power plants by 2030 █ There were 117 units at existing coal power plants in Japan as of April 2018, based on Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Japan Coal Phase-Out: government statistics and publicly available information, and this number includes many older and inefficient plants that have been operating over 40 years.

  • First MRJ Flight Test Aircraft Final Assembly Commences Mid Fuselage Arrives at MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works Komaki South Plant
    First MRJ Flight Test Aircraft Final Assembly Commences Mid Fuselage Arrives at MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works Komaki South Plant Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Nagoya, October 15, 2013 – Final assembly of the first MRJ flight test aircraft under development by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) got underway today at the Komaki South Plant of MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works located in Aichi Prefecture. The start of final assembly follows the October 13 transfer of the aircraft's mid fuselage fabricated at the Tobishima Plant also in Aichi Prefecture. Assembly of the aircraft will progressively advance as other sections of the fuselage, main wings and other structural components arrive, after which electrical wiring, hydraulic and other systems will be installed, followed by other necessary equipment. In step with final assembly, plans call for the vertical tail and horizontal stabilizer – built at MHI's Oye Plant in Nagoya – as well as the aircraft's remarkably fuel-efficient cutting-edge engine – supplied by Pratt & Whitney – to be integrated to the airframe. The MRJ, Japan's first-ever commercial passenger jet, is on the road to becoming a reality. Looking ahead, Mitsubishi Aircraft and MHI will continue working closely with MRJ program partners, moving steadily towards successfully completing this next-generation regional jet that will offer outstanding fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, and cabin comfort. About the MRJ The Mitsubishi Regional Jet is a family of 70- to 90-seat next-generation aircraft featuring Pratt & Whitney's revolutionary PurePower® engine and state-of-the-art aerodynamics enabling drastic reductions in fuel consumption, noise and emissions while offering top-class operational benefits and an outstanding cabin with large overhead bins and other features designed for heightened passenger comfort.

  • Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture
    Excerpt from the FY2013 White Paper on the Environment Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture Aichi 1 − Introduction − In 2013, Japan witnessed record heat and destructive typhoons, causing considerable damage throughout the nation. Some experts have argued that such abnormal weather phenomena can be attributed in part to global warming. Recently there has been growing health concern about fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, an air pollutant found in toxic smog. To provide its residents with detailed information on PM2.5 levels, the Aichi Prefectural Government has reinforced its air quality monitoring system, including increased monitoring locations. Now that global environmental issues have a diverse range of impacts on our everyday lives, we need to strengthen public administration as regards environmental protection from a global perspective. In November 2014, the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will be held here in Aichi Prefecture. This conference is of great significance, in that it will bring together those engaged in ESD from Japan and abroad to conduct lively discussions on this subject under the theme of “Creating a Better Future for the Planet.” The environmental awareness of the citizens of Aichi Prefecture has been enhanced through international environmental events hosted by Aichi, such as Expo 2005 Aichi Japan in 2005 and the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP 10) held in 2010. We believe that the UNESCO World Conference on ESD will provide another springboard for the people of Aichi Prefecture to further increase environmental awareness and promote pro-environmental behavior.
