2018年8月に「エネルギー移行委員会 (ETC: Energy Transition Commission)」が「Mission Possible –Reaching Net-Zero Carbon Emissions from Harder-To-Abate Sectors by Mid-Century-」を公表した。本報告書は、炭素中立(Net-Zero)が難しいとされる重化学工業(鉄鋼、セメント、石油化学)部門および貨物、船舶、航空など旅客以外の輸送手段(以下、貨物など輸送部門)を対象に、炭素中立の技術的可能性とそれを実現するための施策をまとめたものである。本報告書は、200人を超える専門家へのインタビュー結果に基づき、世界的にも著名なコンサルティング会社(Material...
The framework of “Just Transition” is important to implement policies towards decarbonisation of power sectors (DPS) in Japan. Using the existing DPS scenarios and employment factors for the power sectors based on an extended input-output tables, this study analysed “Just Transition” issues, along with three further aspects: distributional justice...
日本の中期目標(NDC)の引き上げ可能性について、以下の論文の研究成果に基づき発表を行った。 A. Kuriyama, K. Tamura, T. Kuramochi, Can Japan enhance its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets? Assessment of economic and energy-related assumptions in Japan’s NDC, Energy Policy. 130 (2019) 328–340. doi:10.1016/j.enpol.2019.03.055.
This study investigates the stringency of Japan's greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 (nationally determined contribution: NDC), focusing on the macroeconomic assumptions of Kaya indicators and others previously overlooked, e.g. GDP per working-age population. It also conducted a decomposition analysis in light of historic political...
Main Messages - The availability of good indicators and the selection of indicators with quality data critically affect the results and associated policy implications of quantitative assessments in general and the SDG interlinkages analysis in particular. - For the existing IGES SDG interlinkages analysis, many proxy indicators were used due to the...
The assessment of mitigation targets is particularly important to provide mitigation opportunities for all stakeholders within a country. This paper assessed the mitigation ambition of Japan’s 2030 emission reduction target determined by nationally determined contribution (NDC) for the Paris Agreement based on the comparison of main drivers for CO2...
The G7 Ministers' Meeting on Climate, Energy, and Environment was recently held in Sapporo, Japan, ahead of the G7 Hiroshima Summit on May 19-21. In this special issue, we provide in-depth coverage of the latest updates and insights from th
In 2021, Japan announced its Green Growth Strategy, setting out a roadmap for key technologies in line with its commitment on carbon neutrality by 2050. Japan has embarked on several initiatives on transformative technology in key sectors, with the a
