A new government-private council was established by the government and manufacturers in order to expand the introduction of offshore wind power generation toward the main power source of renewable energy.
At the first meeting held in Tokyo on the 17th, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry participated in the council to expand the introduction of offshore wind power "I am convinced that Japan, which has a foundation of industry and a broad base of supply chains, can certainly demonstrate its strengths in the offshore wind industry," he said.
Offshore wind power generation uses a larger wind turbine than onshore, so stable large-scale power generation is possible and costs are low, and the number of parts of power generation equipment is 10,000 to 20,000 points, so it is a related industry. It is said to have a great ripple effect.
However, since the introduction is delayed compared to Europe, etc., the council will proceed with a detailed analysis of the extent to which offshore wind power can be introduced in the future, and also examine issues such as infrastructure development issues such as transmission lines and ports. I am. The government has a policy of reducing old coal-fired power plants that emit a large amount of carbon dioxide, and using renewable energy including offshore wind power as a main power source, and is planning to compile a comprehensive plan within the year.
