【Abstract】
Efforts to realize a carbon-neutrality by 2050 are accelerating, and Japan has announced the ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 46% in 2030 compared to fiscal year 2013 levels. The core of the realization of carbon neutrality is a secondary energy carrier that can be used cleanly and efficiently. At present, electricity plays an active role, and in the future, hydrogen will play an active role for the use of fuel and heat. Electricity and hydrogen can reduce carbon and achieve decarbonization through technological innovation. In addition, if the super-smart society (Society 5.0) progresses, there is a possibility for significant reduction in energy demand through the substitution of energy and materials by information, and the realization of revolutionary energy-saving through electrification and digitization. By combining these processes with technology that captures CO2 from the atmosphere, we can draw a clear picture of how to realize decarbonization

【Abstract】
The Energy-history of Japan will be presented here. There have
been energy developments in accordance with Japan's national conditions.
Japan has been developing its own unique technology for this reason. So,the special circumstances regarding future energy development will beconsidered.
