TOKYO -- The CEO of Italian power giant Enel Group is calling on Japan to expand its use of geothermal and other forms of renewable energy as the country works to decarbonize.

Japan and South Korea can do more in terms of renewable power generation because solar, wind and geothermal resources are abundant in the two countries, Francesco Starace said in an interview with Nikkei.
