TOKYO/BRUSSELS, April 14 (Reuters) - Climate ministers
from Group of Seven countries are set to agree that ammonia
could be used to cut emissions from fossil fuel-based power
plants, but only under certain conditions - offering a cautious
endorsement of G7 host Japan's climate plans.
The latest draft statement for the meeting of G7 ministers
on April 15-16 in Sapporo, Japan, said: "some countries are
exploring the use of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen and its
derivatives in the power sector to work towards zero-emission
thermal power generation."
The draft, seen by Reuters, said this strategy must comply
with numerous conditions - including that it is aligned with
having a mostly-decarbonised power sector by 2035.
