Abstract
After the Liberal Democratic Party won the election in 2012, Prime Minister Abe stated that the government would strive to implement aggressive abatement measures against global warming. Here, we define five types of green innovation and three types of green growth with the aim to clarify the necessary abatement measures against global warming. Next, for promoting green growth we propose a novel organization, which is referred to as the Green Power Moderator (GPM). Furthermore, we estimate the economic impact of the measures on the national economy and households in 2030, assuming that GPM successfully promotes green growth. For this purpose, we develop an energy and economy model, in which the bounded rationality of consumers is taken into consideration. Finally, we identify significant factors in establishing an affluent low-carbon society based on the results of our model simulation.
Highlights
The basic goal of a sound energy policy is to support a secure, affluent and environmentally sustainable society
Taking the above point into consideration, here we propose the Green Power Moderator (GPM) as an organization to promote type 1 green growth
The results estimated by the final energy demand model were input to the energy and economy model to obtain the overall impact on the national economy
Summary
The basic goal of a sound energy policy is to support a secure, affluent and environmentally sustainable society. The situation remains uncertain, and we can only hope for a speedy resolution and recovery This nuclear accident, the most serious in Japan’s history, will inevitably affect the country’s future plans for nuclear energy, and the government will revise the Basic Energy Plan. Under these circumstances, the Energy and Environment Council in the National Policy Unit published three potential scenarios for the national economy and energy policy until 2030 [1]. Prime Minister Abe stated the government’s intention to revise the scenarios for the economy and energy policy presented by the former government He promised to implement aggressive abatement measures against global warming. We need to promote green innovation in order to realize green economic growth
