A research paper from Assoc. Prof. Masahiro Sugiyama’s group published at “Applied Energy”

The energy transition towards carbon neutrality by 2050 in Japan will involve renewable energy development and a shift from fossil fuel energy. Investigating the domestic employment level in response to such energy transition and their implications for different decarbonization scenarios is urgently needed.

In this paper, we estimated the job creation in manufacturing sectors, construction sectors, electricity supply sectors, and all other sectors induced by the investment in the introduction of renewable energy capacity introduction and all power generation activities.
