THE RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITION AND SOLVING THE STORAGE PROBLEM: A LOOK AT JAPAN The rapid growth of renewable energy in Japan raises new challenges regarding
Japan’s policy towards battery technology for energy storage systems is outlined in both Japan’s 2014 Strategic Energy Plan and the 2014 revision of the Japan Revitalization Strategy. In Japan’s Revitalization strategy, Japan has the stated goal to capture 50% of the global market for storage batteries by 2020. 2. The Energy Storage Sector a.
In terms of energy storage technology, Japan is supported primarily by pumped hydro and by NaS and Li-ion battery storage capability, according to the US Department of Energy.88 While Japan is the world leader in Nas battery energy storage technology, it is also the world’s second manufacturer of Pb-Acid energy storage systems.
Other small-scale uses, such as data center backup energy storage are projected by NEDO to become commercially widespread in Japan before 2020. Overall, large and centralized storage technologies have been mature for a longer period of time. In Japan and in the EU, research and development efforts are heavily focusing on batteries.
At the residential level, where battery storage capacities are projected at 100,000 to 250,000 kW, life-span is also projected to increase 50 to 100%. Other small-scale uses, such as data center backup energy storage are projected by NEDO to become commercially widespread in Japan before 2020.
The plan also calls for the widespread promotion of energy efficient management systems (EMS) in Japan. At the national level, and in a long-term strategic sense, this context has given rise to the structural demand for energy storage infrastructure on Japan’s energy market.
As policy, technology, and decarbonization goals converge, Japan is positioning energy storage as a critical link between its climate targets and energy reliability. Japan’s energy storage policy is anchored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which outlined its ambitions in the 6th Strategic Energy Plan, adopted in 2021.
