Suga announced this in his policy speech at first parliamentary session since he took office last month.
The Prime Minister said, he intends to make a sustainable economy a pillar of his growth strategy and put maximum effort into achieving a green society.
Suga emphasized the need to shift away from fossil fuels to counter climate change as an opportunity rather than a burden.
As per Japan’s current energy plan, 56 per cent of its energy reqirements come from fossil fuels.
