8German Japanese Energy Transition Council

Study Program – Interim Results ST1*Energy transition as a central building block of a future industrial policy -

Comparison and analysis of long-term energy transition scenarios

Similarities

• Pursue 3Es in energy transition

• Contribute to economic growth by employing low carbon and low cost energies

Differences

• Different approaches of projections and policies

– Japan: Carefully assess balance of 3Es in accordance with current feasibility

– Germany: Assess how to reach long-term targets in 2050 (with net benefit)

• Calculation and current status of power generation costs differ

• Role of nuclear energy

• Perception of degression of renewable energy costs in transitional period

Recommendations

Japan & Germany should cooperate in R&D and deployment of low carbon

technologies

Ambitious implementation of policy measures to achieve a low carbon society

* These preliminary results reflect the opinion of the study contractors and do

not necessarily represent the opinion of the GJETC

Similarities & recommendation 1

• Policy direction towards energy market liberalization

• Struggling for reduction and fair distribution of energy transition costs

Institutionalize continuous communication channels on knowledge exchange

Similarities & recommendation 2

• Growing importance of public involvement and decentralized actors

Broaden opportunities to learn from each other

Further sectoral recommendations

Intensified cooperation among ministries

Integrated energy education

Communicate benefits of early transition for businesses

Encourage information from independent research

9German Japanese Energy Transition Council

Study Program – Interim Results ST2*Strategic framework and socio-cultural aspects of the Energy Transition

* These preliminary results reflect the opinion of the study contractors and do

not necessarily represent the opinion of the GJETC

Recommendations

Japan can learn from Germany concerning the undergoing market reform to

VRE-based energy system

Both Japan and Germany need to provide the right investment signals to reduce

the use of fossil fuels

Strengthening of network is strategically important

– To increase efficiency of generation supply and use

– To raise flexibility to accommodate VRE

Analyze the reasons why perception of nuclear power is different

Positive externalities of RE shall be counted in its cost estimates

An RE-based transition is driven by decentralized actors (e.g. citizen cooperatives)

10German Japanese Energy Transition Council

Study Program – Interim Results ST3*New allocation of roles and business segments of established & new participants

In the energy sector currently and within a future electricity market design

* These preliminary results reflect the opinion of the study contractors and do

not necessarily represent the opinion of the GJETC

Potential to further improve efficiency exists! Mutual learning can accelerate its realization

Recommendations for Germany

Promote R&D for sector coupling, make use of digitalization

Promote „energy efficiency first“ as key principle for energy policies

More mandatory requirements for industry

Fundamental transport transition

Stricter regulation and its operation for building

Improve energy price policies

Recommendations for Japan

Apply energy management to SMEs

Establish energy monitoring during utilization phase

Improve building insulation

Use of automatic driving

Opportunity of big data

11German Japanese Energy Transition Council

Study Program – Interim Results ST4*Energy end-use efficiency potentials & policies and the development

Of energy service markets

* These preliminary results reflect the opinion of the study contractors and do

not necessarily represent the opinion of the GJETC

15German Japanese Energy Transition Council

Written answers and oral discussions by participants concerning questions

(questionnaire) on energy efficiency and conservation

General Topics

• Perception of national energy efficiency strategies and (binding) targets?

• Main barriers and market failures to yield full benefits of energy efficiency?

• Necessity of policy framework and most important policy measures?

• Role of publicly financed supportive institutions like Energy Efficiency Agencies?

• Role of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)?
