Seminar on Decarbonization in Tsuruga City

Overview

On July 14, 2025, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) will host an insightful seminar in Tokyo, featuring Kazuyuki Yahara, the Deputy Director of Policy Promotion from Tsuruga City's Planning and Policy Department. The seminar, titled "Paradigm Shift towards Decarbonization Triggered by the Opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen in Tsuruga", will delve into the strategies the city is employing to advance decarbonization.

With a legacy as a critical transportation hub, Tsuruga has long been recognized for its role in energy supply, primarily due to its nuclear power plant. However, the city now faces significant challenges including decreasing population, economic contraction, and the ongoing decommissioning of the nuclear facility. The seminar will explore how Tsuruga is seeking to break away from its traditional energy reliance and spearhead new industries and energy policies.
