Green ILC Concept: Scenarios toward 2050 Carbon Neutrality in Japan and ILC

TL;DR

This paper presents Japan's 2050 carbon neutrality scenario and policy recommendations for the ILC, focusing on operational CO2 emissions and strategic pathways toward sustainability.

Contribution

It introduces a specific scenario and policy framework for Japan's ILC to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, emphasizing operational emissions reduction.

Findings

Japan's scenario outlines pathways to 2050 carbon neutrality.

Policy recommendations align ILC operations with sustainability goals.

Focus on operational CO2 emissions rather than lifecycle emissions.

Abstract

This paper describes Japan's scenario for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and the policy that should be adopted by the ILC in Japan in line with that policy. This paper only discusses CO2 emissions during operation, not the lifecycle CO2 emissions of the ILC.
