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
As the energy transition leads to more renewable energy and electrification of transport, demand for storage batteries is increasing. Manufacturing such batteries, however, requires a wide array of raw materials that Japan must import, often competing with both allies and rivals.
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.
The “Storage Battery Industry Strategy” document from METI sets out three key targets: Boost Domestic Manufacturing: Japan aims to ramp up its domestic production of automotive storage batteries to 100 GWh by 2030, with a long-term goal of reaching 150 GWh annually. This move highlights the potential for foreign companies to invest in Japan.
Japan’s energy storage landscape is shifting, pushed by household demand, corporate ESG mandates, and domestic battery manufacturing. The residential lithium-ion market, projected to grow at a CAGR of 33.9% through 2030, remains one of the fastest-expanding segments.
This development holds potential to extend the life of batteries, and as a result can help to partly insulate Japan from disruptions in international supply chains. Plus, with the cost of recycling and battery disposal high, there’s likely to be no shortage of those willing to hand over aging batteries.
