Analysis Of The Evolution Of Japanese New Energy Industry

Japan is a resource-scarce country, Since the1970s, Japan’s economic wasstagnant due to the two oil crises. This is a significant impact on Japan’s economyBefore the1970s, the Japanese have had the idea of developing new energyindustries, But for various reasons, the idea could not be implemented. Since the oilcrisis, the use of new energy was put on the agenda by the Japanese government.Japan has been promoting the development of new energy industry through legal,administrative, news and propaganda and other means over the years, making effortsto increase investment in research and development of new energy industry, and hasmade rapid progress.Japan is one of the earliest countries in researching the development of newenergy in the world. New energy technology in Japan has been in a leading position inthe world, especially the use of nuclear energy, which has been a leader in theelectricity market. The nuclear power generation of Japan is very stable. Nuclearpower would be used for long term, if there was no Fukushima nuclear accident. Theoutbreak of the Great East Japan Earthquake in2011triggered a nuclear accident ofthe Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Japanese government had to close theirnuclear power plant, considering about their own actual situation. This will result inthe change of Japan’s energy structure, so will the energy strategy of Japan, this willalso be a challenge to the development of new energy industry in Japan.The process of the development of new energy industry can be learned by othercountries, the development of new energy industry has a long history in Japan.Through summarizing the development process and characteristics of Japan’s newenergy industry, analyzing the countermeasures taken in the development process ofJapan’s new energy industry, we can learn a lot. Our country can learn the measureswhich are taken in the development of new energy industry from Japan. This thesismainly researches the development of new energy industry in Japan, the purpose is topromote the development of new energy industry in China. Through studying thecourse of development of new energy industry in Japan, analyzing Japan’s new energyand industrial development features, studying the support system in the process ofdevelopment of the new energy industrial of Japan and analyzing the effectivenessand problems during the development of Japan’s new energy industry, we can learnfrom the successful experience and apply to the new energy industry in China andadjust China’s energy strategy in time. This will be an important significance on thedevelopment of new energy industry in China. At the same time, we can take earlyresponse measures by learning the lessons of Japan’s new energy and industrialdevelopment process. We can also give effective advice by combining with the actualdevelopment of new energy industry in our country. This has a very importantpractical significance on promoting the development of China’s new energy industry.
