Kan says 20% of Japan’s energy to be from natural resources in 2020s
PARIS, May 25, Kyodo
Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Wednesday that Japan will dramatically change its energy policy to be less dependent on fossil fuel and nuclear power, unveiling a new target of generating 20 percent of its electricity from natural resources as soon as possible in the 2020s.
’’Japan will now review its basic energy plan from scratch and is set to address new challenges,’’ Kan said at a forum dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris.
Kan said Japan will try to meet the new target, 10 years ahead of its original schedule, by undertaking ’’drastic technological innovation’’ in the wake of the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
’’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’s core energy sources,’’ he said.
To start with, Kan said Japan will try to reduce the cost of generating solar power to a third of the current level by 2020 and to one-sixth by 2030.
At present, renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind, only make up about 1 percent of Japan’s total power supply. Even including the amount of energy generated by hydraulic plants, the ratio is around only 10 percent.
.. .. .. .. ..
’’I state this with firm conviction that the rebirth of the Japanese economy has already been forcefully set in motion,’’ Kan said.
He noted that more than 60 percent of the production bases in the disaster-stricken region, such as in the electronics industry, have already resumed their operations and the remaining about 30 percent are likely to recover by this summer.
