Green Snow
The development of the Green Snow project is an important step towards Japan realizing its 2030 Climate Plan, which seeks to triple the country’s geothermal capacity by 2030.
International Cooperation for Sustainability
By creating opportunities for American companies to take the lead as developers, the Green Snow project supports the Japanese government’s climate goals and highlights the importance of international cooperation in advancing clean energy solutions and overcoming obstacles in the global energy market. The Green Snow project is expected to pave the way for further geothermal energy initiatives, setting a new standard for renewable energy and sustainable practices worldwide.
Collaboration for a Greener Future
As announced on April 15, 2023, Japan and the United States agreed to cooperate on developing geothermal energy in Japan during a meeting of the Group of Seven energy and environment ministers in Hokkaido. A memorandum of commitment was signed by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yasutoshi Nishimura. The pact recognizes geothermal energy as a renewable energy technology that both countries can work together to advance.
The agreement calls for collaboration in research and development, exchange of information, and pursuit of geothermal projects in the US, Japan, and other countries. The cooperation aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions contributing to climate change.
