From 2020 to 2040, solar generation in these states jumps nearly ninefold and wind generation more than sevenfold. Our analysis also demonstrates renewables’ power. Reducing fossil fuel use under the 100-percent RES policy cuts alliance state power plant carbon dioxide emissions by 58 percent below 2020 levels by 2040.

Japan is the world’s 5 th largest CO 2 emitter, with 85 % of emissions deriving from the energy sector, which heavily relies on the use of coal-fired power plants. Japan’s dependency on fossil fuel s had been slightly declining until 2010. As a result, Japan’s CO 2 emissions increased, peaking in 2013. Kobe Steel Ltd.,
