Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 9 (Xinhua)-- starting from 2024, the Japanese government plans to require domestic manufacturers of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to calculate and report carbon dioxide emissions from battery production, a move aimed at promoting the development of low-carbon technology, the Nikkei News reported.

Electric vehicles and hybrids are considered to be effective alternatives to reduce gasoline vehicle emissions, but their battery production also consumes a lot of energy and produces greenhouse gases. As a result, Japan's Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry hopes to promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the battery industry by requiring manufacturers to disclose the carbon footprint of battery production.

The Japanese government also plans to use carbon emissions from battery production as a basis for subsidies to encourage manufacturers to use low-carbon technologies, according to reports. In addition, the Japanese government will also cooperate with the European Union and other international organizations to establish unified battery production emission standards to promote low-carbon worldwide.

CTOnews.com noted that the European Union had previously said it planned to publish mandatory information on emissions from battery production from 2024.
