Abstract

The shift in Japan’s energy policy following the Great East Japan Earthquake has led to a rising interest in renewable energy. As the answer to the sustainable energy problem, much is expected of the introduction and spread of renewable energy. The aim of this book is to identify tactics that are useful for promoting policies for renewable energy development.

However, in light of the subsequent increase in new energy technology targets, the project functioned as a program in all but name.
