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.
Also highly-relevant in shaping structural demand for energy storage Japan’s post-Fukushima energy market landscape, has been the rise of Japan’s Smart City plans. In principle, the smart city concept also needs energy storage in order to help regulate energy demand management systems.
Japan’s energy storage landscape is widely distributed across the whole of Japan, geographically-speaking. Furthermore, Japan’s energy-storage landscape is characterized by its connection with Japan’s smart-grid and smart city landscape. a. Interactive Map of Japan’s Energy Storage Landscape
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.
Economic incentives for energy storage on the Japanese market are established by Japan’s Feed-in-tariff scheme.129 Furthermore, 2012-2013 saw the launch of numerous, high-budget energy storage subsidies on the Japanese market, as outlined in previous chapters of this research. iv. Industry Acceptance
In principle, this means that Japan’s energy storage technology manufacturers will be presented with potentially lucrative trade and export opportunity in Japan’s near-abroad, as the 21st century develops. This can help mitigate the investment risks in the research and development of commercially-viable energy storage systems. ii.
