Japanese Solar

Since the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011, Japanese energy policies have shifted significantly towards renewable energy sources. The government's initial target of 53 GW of solar capacity by 2030 was surpassed in 2018, with installed capacity at the end of 2022 just under 80 GW. The new target aims for 108 GW of solar capacity by 2030.

Japanese Biomass

Japan currently has around 5 GW of installed biomass capacity, and the government's 6th Strategic Energy Plan outlines a target of 8 GW by 2030. Achieving this target would mean covering 5% of the country's anticipated demand for energy in 2030. According to Switwzerland Global Enterprise, the Japanese biomass market is currently expected to grow by over 5% annually until 2025 and just under 4% annually in the ten years following.
