Japanese Target on Global WarmingJapanese Target on Global Warming
( By METI)
p Under the Kyoto Protocol, Japan has a target to reduce GHG emission up to 6%relative to the levels pertaining in 1990, to be achieved on an annual basis from 2008 to 2012.
p CO2 emissions originated by energy represent 90% of total greenhouse gases.

Summary
p CO2 sequestration in coal seams has been taken up as innovative technology on global warming by METI.
p Japan has considerable amount of unmineable coal reserve to sequestrate CO2 as well as to develop ECBM.
p METI commenced new 5 years project for CO2
sequestration in coal seams from JFY2002p Contents of the project
