Road Map/Vision

Passed in 2022

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed this document to set a direction for transition toward achieving carbon neutrality in 2050 for GHG-intensive industries. The roadmap is expected to assist financial institutions in determining whether a company's strategies and initiatives toward decarbonisation qualify for transition finance when the company raises funds.

Under this effort, sectoral roadmaps were released and are available on METI's webpage:

Iron and Steel
Chemical
Power
Gas
Oil
Pulp and Paper
Cement

In other industrial sectors, there are roadmaps and other documents that show technologies and directions toward decarbonization, which can be used for transition finance:

international shipping
domestic transport
