Can Japan wirelessly transmit solar energy from space to Earth?

In a bold step toward redefining the global energy landscape, Japan is moving closer to a historic achievement: wirelessly transmitting solar energy from space to Earth. At the heart of this innovation is a satellite project called OHISAMA, a name which means “sun” in Japanese—a fitting symbol for a vision rooted in solar power and sustainability.

How much solar power will Japan need by 2021?

As of July 2021, Japan was aiming at 108 GW of solar capacity by 2030. In May 2021, the Japanese Trade Ministry said that Japan may require up to 370 GW of solar capacity by 2050 to reach the goal of cutting carbon emissions to zero.

Can Japan beam solar energy from space?

Japan Aims to Beam Solar Power from Space: The OHISAMA Project and the Future of Clean Energy In a bold step toward redefining the global energy landscape, Japan is moving closer to a historic achievement: wirelessly transmitting solar energy from space to Earth.

What percentage of Japan's Energy is solar?

In 2022, solar energy accounted for 5.39% of Japan’s total energy mix and 9.91% of its electricity generation. In both cases, solar power in Japan holds the largest share of all renewable sources. This is a drastic contrast to even a decade ago when solar energy contributed less than 1% of the country’s energy.

Is solar energy the future of Japan's Energy Strategy?

Solar energy in Japan is emerging as a cornerstone of Japan’s strategy to meet its ambitious long-term sustainability goals. The Sixth Strategic Energy Plan aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 with an interim goal of 36-38% of energy from renewables by 2030.

Are container-level micro nuclear reactors a viable alternative to Japan's Energy layout?

With the maturity of technology and the improvement of regulatory systems, container-level micro nuclear reactors are expected to become an important supplement to Japan's and even the world's energy layout.
