By introduction of renewable energy, environmentally-friendly energy which can be procured domestically, including wind and solar power, effects such as diversification of energy sources and creation of new markets and employment opportunities can be expected. Thus, the Government of Japan has been promoting the introduction of such energy so far. After the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear power plant accident which took place last year, the government is reviewing its energy policy, and acceleration of the introduction of renewable energy has become one of key issues. Expectations for marine renewable energy such as offshore wind power, wave power and OTEC is increasing, as well, but wind power which has already been used on land, is not at the stage of full-scale introduction offshore, and the other kinds of marine renewable energy is not put into practical use, either. In addition to overcoming challenges related to technology and costs, there is a need to create better climate, for example, through creation of adjustment scheme for the use of marine waters. The article covers the initiatives of the government on these points in particular.
