Japan and Fukushima Nuclear Energy Policy Case Solution
Achievement of CO2 emission reduction and energy security by Japan
The goal of greenhouse gas emission reduction effect set by the Kyoto Protocol relied greatly upon the nuclear power that caused 30% increase of nuclear power in 2002.In addition to this, it led to critical outcomes to reduce emission of CO2 gas.For the purpose of security of energy and supply, the Government of Japan established an infrastructure for energy which resulted in more energy consumption and less dependency on fossil fuels.In June 2010, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have planned to increase nuclear power by 70% by the year 2030. This plan led to 30% self-dependency for the energy resources in 2011.
Electric power industry role
Japan was importing fossil fuels from foreign countries, which led it to face significant loss of electricity. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) formulated energy resources based on nuclear resources. Nuclear resources reduced consumption of electricity power cost, which was much lesser than that of thermal power.
Role of international community
A contributive Improvement and Standardization program was launched by Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and nuclear power industry in 1975...........
