Today the sector of renewable energy sources in Japan is going through a real boom and seems to keep rising further.
Japan is a country, where electricity tariff is very high. It has much sunlight, but mountainous landscape makes setting solar panel stations on the ground difficult and expensive. Solution to this is evident – placing solar panels on water surface, which amounts to tens of thousands square meters. Floating power plants make a good decisions for Japan with its numerous lakes. Local partners liked the innovative technology, offered by the French, for its ease in setup and environmental friendliness. Thus, such facility has already been built on the territory of a sea port in Kobe.
By now a French group Сiel et Terre has spread about 20 floating power plants around Japan. Another one will be ready for service in the nearest future; according to developers, it will be one-of-a-kind around the globe, with capacity amounting to 13.7 megawatts.
Japan is getting ready to liberalization of electricity market next month. This means that the country’s citizens, who are not indifferent to renewable energy sources, will be able to choose their operator. This also means that companies will become more active in selling solar energy.
Technologies of obtaining solar energy have been widely represented at the exhibition of renewable sources in Tokyo. It is worth mentioning that by the end of this year Japan will become the world’s second largest industry specific market after Germany.
At the same time, experts believe that other alternative energy solutions are also highly perspective. Thus, Japanese car manufacturers count on hydrogenic cars. Biomass and wind energy also make a case study of many scientist, mainly European ones.
At the latest UNO conference on climate Japan has offered to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 26% by 2030. The wish to fulfill obligations will stimulate development of "green" energy sources.
Meanwhile behavior of USD/JPY currency pair at Forex signals about growth of Japanese currency.
