Japanese manufacturers have also developed state-of-the-art-technologies for new energies, including technologies for solar generation and fuel cells, among others. Japan’s technologies in this area are truly world-leading.
Technologies and products which reduce the consumption of fossil fuels are significant ways in which we can achieve environmental conservation coupled with economic growth.

Energy conservation within each country will help ease demand at the global level and enable the next generation to have access to the limited fossil fuel resources of the planet. This is an issue we all have in common.
