The Japanese government has released its 7th Strategic Energy Plan, highlighting a strong inclination towards renewable energy sources as part of its energy transition strategy. The plan focuses on increasing offshore wind power generation to 45 GW and solar power capacity to 150 GW by 2040, signaling a significant shift towards clean energy. To support these renewable sources, Japan is investing in battery storage systems to enhance grid stability. Additionally, the plan underscores the importance of innovative technologies such as carbon capture, hydrogen, and ammonia. Japan aims to deploy 30 GW of battery storage systems, capture and store 120 tonnes of CO2 annually using CCS technology, and establish a hydrogen supply chain capable of delivering 20 million tonnes annually. Ammonia will also be utilized as a carbon-free fuel, with a target of 10 million tonnes annually. While reducing reliance on fossil fuels, Japan recognizes the role of natural gas during the transition period and plans to phase out coal-fired power plants to achieve a 50% reduction in coal consumption by 2040. The government also acknowledges nuclear power's contribution to carbon neutrality, with plans to operate existing reactors and develop next-generation nuclear technologies. By 2040, Japan aims to increase renewable energy sources to 50% and decrease fossil fuel consumption to 40%. The plan is ambitious and will require extensive government and industry support to establish the necessary infrastructure for sustainable renewable technologies.
