The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry organizes a public-private council to develop a perovskite solar cell strategy
Public and private sectors collaborate to introduce perovskite solar cells
On May 29, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced ``Part 1 towards expanding the introduction of next-generation solar cells and enhancing industrial competitiveness'', aiming to build expansion strategy introducing next generation solar cells such as perovskite solar cells. A public-private council was organized. As a precursor to building the next baseline energy plan, we will decide on introductory goals and plan a direction in the fall.
The Council will (1) review the solar panel industry, (2) establish pricing goals and targets for the introduction of next-generation solar cells, (3) identify issues and response directions to expand their introduction and (4) We will consider directions for building domestic supply chains, (5) strategies for capturing foreign markets and (6) other points to note , such as disposal and recycling.
When developing referral targets and price targets, we consider to what extent the target will increase the predictability of the business from both the supply and demand side, contribute to expanding referrals and enhance industrial competition, towards self-sustaining energy sources worldwide. medium and long term. Consider what price target is appropriate to set and whether the introductory target and price target set are at a realistically achievable level.
In terms of challenges and directions for expanding adoption, we will look at what types of frameworks can be considered effective approaches to expanding adoption. In addition, what requirements are necessary and effective when reviewing current regulations and systems, creating new categories such as preferential input price (FIT) and input preferential fee (FIP), while also supporting their introduction to consumers through budgetary measures?
In addition, points to note and points to consider when strengthening the supply chain including raw materials, the direction the next generation solar panel industry should take in the medium and long term, the strategy access to foreign markets and governments We will also discuss the role of international standards and the development of international standards.
Yukari Takamura, a professor at the Future Vision Research Center at the University of Tokyo, was appointed president. There are 8 committee members, including Mr. Takamura, and the discussion members are 37 companies/organizations and 137 local governments. In addition, 23 people from relevant ministries and branches will participate. The secretariat is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Department of Natural Resources and Energy.
The Energy and Natural Resources Agency has advocated a three-pronged approach to early deployment of next-generation solar cells in society: “establish mass production technology,” “improve production systems,” and “create demand”. .'' Regarding the establishment of mass production technology, the GI Foundation's "Next Generation Solar Cell Development Project" will be expanded from 49.8 billion yen to 64.8 billion yen, with the goal of social implementation by 2030. Additionally, in preparation for field demonstrations, a public call for demonstration projects launched in March.
Regarding production system development, we will endeavor to build a GW (gigawatt) type mass production system as early as 2030 and will spend 54.8 billion yen (421.2 billion yen total including national treasury debt burden) in the fiscal year 2020 budget for the GX Supply Chain Construction Support Project Measures have been implemented. To generate demand, we are looking at establishing referral targets, referral incentives through FIT/FIP, and referral support measures based on price reduction targets through product manufacturing. series.
