Reuters reported on the morning of June 28 that Japan proposed to cancel the "collective goal of achieving at least 50% zero-emission vehicles by 2030" in the currently drafted G7 (G7) communiqué. A precise description, but changed to a more vague statement, that is, "substantially increase the sales, share and use of zero-emission light vehicles, recognizing the various pathways taken by member states to achieve the zero-emission target."

Of course, the article believes that the contents of this draft may not necessarily appear in the official communiqué - in fact, in the latest official communiqué, it is still emphasized that no changes will be made on climate and biodiversity In order to compromise, Germany even stated that it would establish energy reform partnerships with countries including Indonesia , India and Vietnam . However, from this draft, we can still see the differences between relevant countries on carbon reduction targets.

Some analysts pointed out that the reason why the Japanese government chose to "turn back from to " in the transformation of new energy is largely due to the lobbying of the country's powerful domestic automobile companies. In previous media reports, Japan's former Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and senior member of the Liberal Democratic Party, Akira Amari, said that Toyota Motor is lobbying the Japanese government, hoping that it will revise the government's annual economic policy roadmap to include hybrid vehicles. EV is within the scope of . Amari said that he had a conversation with Akio Toyoda, President of Toyota Motor and Chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. This influential executive in the Japanese automobile industry said that if the Japanese government cannot support hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles, If it treats everyone equally, it will face losing the support of the automobile industry.

Data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association show that hybrid vehicles, including plug-in hybrid vehicles , accounted for nearly 44% of new passenger car sales in Japan last year, but pure electric vehicles accounted for less than 44%. 1%. Toyota believes that by developing synthetic fuel or hydrogen engines, hybrid vehicles using internal combustion engines can also achieve "100% clean energy."

Toyota also said that the problem of climate warming comes from fossil fuels, not internal combustion engines. However, research from InfluenceMap, an international energy and climate think tank, shows that Toyota is the "worst performer" of all major automakers in its transition to zero-emission vehicles, as it continues to lobby on climate policies, including Public statements and interactions with government.

In another report, the attitude towards energy transition within the G7 has also undergone subtle changes after the Russia-Ukraine conflict, soaring energy prices, power shortages, inflation and other events. The communiqué also acknowledged that the current global goals and execution capabilities are insufficient to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and .

According to Reuters, a source said on June 26 that G7 leaders are pushing for countries to recognize that investment in fossil energy requires new financing in order to make efforts for European countries to diversify their energy supply. . It is reported that at the G7 annual summit, national delegations are also discussing whether the above measures are in line with the commitments made by these countries at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), that is, to stop financing international fossil fuel projects by the end of 2022. .

Compared with countries with a more determined attitude towards transformation, the countries that are still in a state of swing with are more because their own related industrial chains are not enough to "stand out among the others" on a global scale. For example, Japan is a global leader in hybrid vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles, but is clearly lagging behind in the field of pure electric vehicles. Therefore, when countries make "small calculations", they will mostly consider maximizing their own interests. In the face of reality, not all countries can afford the persistence required to realize their ideals.
