Japan can reach net zero more cheaply with mature renewables than with unproven innovative thermal
New modelling finds a renewable-led transition reaches net zero at 7% lower cost, with stronger economic returns and far less emissions risk than betting on unproven abated thermal.

A Japan powered by 90% clean energy is achievable only with a flexible system
New analysis shows how interconnectors, flexible nuclear and long-duration storage could help reduce wasted renewable energy in Japan’s power system.

Japan could double its clean electricity without much waste
Japan could expand renewable energy to 50% of electricity by 2040 without wasting clean power, according to new modelling of the country’s future power system.

Modelling 24/7 Carbon Free Electricity in Taiwan
Hourly matching commercial and industrial demand with clean power in Taiwan could save nearly US$1 billion and 5 MtCO₂e annually, all at a lower unit cost than recent tariffs, according to new TransitionZero modelling.
