Industries stepping up responses to Paris accord www3.nhk.or.jp
Japanese industries are trying to respond to the Paris agreement on climate change by developing cutting-edge technologies to reduce greenhouse gases.
Steelmaking accounts for about 40 percent of emissions in the industrial sector.
Major steelmakers jointly started work on developing a new technology in June that injects hydrogen into high-temperature blast furnaces to react with oxygen in iron ore. Researchers say the goal is to cut emissions by 30 percent.
A senior official at Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal says steelmakers as major emitters must make all-out efforts to cut CO2.
Automakers are also focusing on environmental technologies.
A senior official at Fuji Heavy Industries says the firm will place emphasis on plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.
Japan's largest business group, Keidanren, is calling on firms to promote green technologies abroad and lead efforts to stem global warming.
