Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has invited Japanese specialists to Ukraine to exchange experience and introduce effective solutions.

The president's press service reported on Thursday that Poroshenko visited the Isogo Thermal Power Plant (TPP) in Yokohama, which is the most efficient and environmentally safe thermal power station in the world.

"In the course of the meeting with the company’s leaders, the President invited Japanese experts to visit Ukraine in order to exchange experience and implement such technologies in our country," the press service said.

"We are planning to modernize our thermal power stations in order to become independent from Russian gas and coal and receive it from other markets," Poroshenko said.

According to the president, Ukraine-Japan cooperation in the sphere of energy efficiency is the most promising one and the experience of Japanese companies is highly valuable.

Isogo TPP is one of the first thermal power stations in the world that started using efficient technologies for cleaning of emissions. For today, Isogo is the global leader in terms of environmental safety - emissions of carbon monoxide and sulfur have been brought to almost zero.
