It aims to increase clean, renewable energy from the current nine percent to 20 percent by the 2020s. The prime minister is expected to hand in his resignation once the renewable legislation passes.<\/p>\n<p>For a detailed summary of the announcement of the details of the new move to renewables at an OECD forum in Paris, see <a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">this<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">May<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\"> 27 <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">Japan<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">Times<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">report<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/search.japantimes.co.jp\/cgi-bin\/nn20110527a1.html\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From a solar energy perspective the changes are indeed trailblazing. Accounting, with other renewable energy resources such as wind, for a meagre one percent of Japan\u2019s energy, the government has stated it will be looking at reducing the costs of generating solar power to a third of current levels by 2020, cutting this further to one-sixth by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister told the OECD Japan would make the development of renewable energy a key undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will mobilize all our resources to break the barrier to practical use due to such aspects as technology and costs, and we will elevate renewable energy to one of society&#8217;s core energy sources,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>An important component of the legislation will be based on the government\u2019s expressed desire for feed-in tariffs to stimulate renewable capacity.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 23 August Business Green <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/bg\/news\/2103716\/japans-feed-tariff-clears-parliamentary-hurdle\">report<\/a>, the feed-in tariff will guarantee \u201c&#8230;renewable energy generators above market rates for the power they produce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new subsidy regime, which is modelled on successful feed-in tariff schemes in Europe, will come into effect from July 2012 and force utilities to purchase electricity generated by solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and small-scale hydro electric plants at set rates for up to 20 years,\u201d the report continues.<\/p>\n<p>This is one way to stimulate the renewable energy market and two other news reports have indicated that the famously innovative Japanese private sector is ready to latch on to any government solar initiatives<\/p>\n<p>Firstly from the UK\u2019s The Independent comes a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/environment\/sprayon-solar-may-be-future-for-green-energy-2343590.html\">report<\/a> that Japanese firm Mitsubishi Chemical Corp has developed a superbly innovative technique \u2014 spray-on solar cells. The breakthrough means cells can be applied to buildings, vehicles and even clothing in a similar way as paint is applied, according to the report, making the places where harvesting of the sun now \u201calmost limitless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Secondly on a more infrastructure front comes news from Kyodo News that industrial giants Mitsui Chemicals Inc., Toshiba Corp. and Mitsui &amp; Co are combining resources to build the largest solar power generation plant in the country. The 20 billion yen plant to be constructed in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture will generate an expected 50,000 kilowatts from 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Combined with recent announcements from near neighbour China that it intends to increase its focus on a renewable future, does this mean that North Asia is truly the engine room of global solar innovation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rich Bowden All eyes are on the Land of the Rising Sun as the country, still reeling from the effects of the March 11 Fukushima nuclear disaster, looks to build a renewable energy future to reshape its energy needs.
