Japanese officials have met in Paris with representatives of nations that Tokyo partners with in bilateral low-carbon technology transfer programs.
The meeting took place on the fringes of U.N. climate talks in Paris on Tuesday.
Under the so-called Joint Crediting Mechanism, Japan would provide low-carbon technologies to developing nations and use the reductions gained toward its own target of reduced gas emissions.
Noting that eight carbon-cutting projects are underway as part of the mechanism, Environment Minister Tamayo Marukawa said in her remarks that Japan intends to "further support" setting up projects.
Japan has so far agreed with Mongolia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam and 12 other countries to implement projects under the framework. Of them, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Myanmar and Thailand joined the effort this year.
Juan Pedro Searle, head of the Climate Change Unit of the Chilean Energy Ministry, said his government is working on multiple feasibility studies under the partnership, including in the area of geothermal power generation. "We really hope to continue this cooperation with Japan," he said.
