Japan began focusing on the rapid development of renewable energy to fill the void created after the Fukushima disaster. The country is planning to restart its nuclear power plants to meet its 2030 climate targets and to ensure supply security in the long term. In 2012, the government implemented a Feed in Tariff (FiT) system, under the Act on Special Measures Concerning the Procurement of Renewable Energy by Operators of Electric Utilities. As per this FiT system, power utilities must purchase electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, small hydro, geothermal, and biomass, generated by certified facilities at a fixed price for a period of 20 years.

The Japan Renewable Energy Policy Handbook offers comprehensive information on major policies governing the renewable energy market in most of Japan. The report also discusses renewable energy targets and plans along with the present policy framework, giving a fair idea of the overall growth potential of the renewable energy industry. Moreover, the report provides major technology-specific policies and incentives provided in the region.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine led to increased energy prices in Japan. Henceforth, the government felt the need to introduce a policy to ensure a stable energy supply while still focusing on its goal of achieving a decarbonized society. In February 2023, the Japanese government launched the basic energy plan until 2030. It significantly changes the country’s previous nuclear policy and intends to restart suspended nuclear power plants.

The country submitted its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in October 2021 pledging to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly by 2030 compared to 2013. Also, the Japanese government released the Sixth Strategic Energy Plan which increased the country’s renewable power generation target prominently by 2030.

Japan Renewable Energy Policy Outlook

On 10th February 2023, Japan’s Cabinet approved the Basic Plan for the “GX: Green Transformation Policy” known as Basic Energy Plan until 2030 designed to help the country achieve its climate targets.

The plan is a ten-year roadmap focused on Japan’s decarbonization goals. It highlights carbon pricing instruments that will help the country achieve its NDC targets and eventually reach climate neutrality by 2030. A Green Transformation (GX) League is introduced under the plan, which is a voluntary baseline and credit system, the plan also is set to introduce a more traditional emissions trading system (ETS) and a carbon levy in the coming years.

Additionally, Japan currently is in its third phase of hydrogen development. One of the key aspects that the Japanese hydrogen industry is working towards is reducing the cost of hydrogen supply through two key methods. One approach is combining low-cost unused energy from overseas with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The other way is through procuring large amounts of hydrogen from low-cost renewable energy overseas.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
