Japan, US governments asked to beef up nuclear energy dev't

The JAIF and NEI asked the two governments to improve the energy market and regulation.

The Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF) and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) have called on the Japanese and US governments to strengthen nuclear energy development.

In a joint statement, the JAIF and NEI raised the need to develop nuclear against the increasingly urgent climate crisis.

“We… call on our respective governments to strengthen support for the maximum use of existing nuclear reactors on the premise of safety, including extending the term of operation, and support for development and construction toward the implementation of advanced reactors,” the statement read in part.

The two industry representatives also asked the US and Japan to improve the systems for energy market and regulation, as well as provide policy support to incentivize funding for nuclear power.

“We will strengthen the nuclear power supply chain with the cooperation of industries united upon mutual trust and shared values, to counter those who try to disrupt the international order,” the statement also said.

“We will also promote Japan-US cooperation in the global deployment of advanced reactors, including small modular reactors (SMRs), through the necessary forms of policy support from our governments in cooperation with other countries that share our values, to enable the industries to be competitive in global markets.”

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
