Abstract

In Japan, energy-related CO2 emissions were around one thousand and seventy nine million tons in 2009. CO2 emissions from electric utilities accounted for 32 % of the total CO2 emissions. So, low carbon technologies are indispensable to the reduction of energy-related CO2 from electric utilities. In this paper, I would like to introduce the present and future aspects of low carbon technologies in thermal power generation in Japan.
