Japan could be energy-independent by 2060 thanks to renewables, Rystad Energy CEO says

TOKYO - Japan, a major coal and liquefied natural gas buyer, could be energy-independent by 2060 thanks to expansion of solar and wind power together with storage batteries, said Jarand Rystad, chief executive of the Rystad Energy consultancy.

"All Japan needs is to continue installing as much solar as it did in the years before 2020. From 2014, you installed between 10 and 12 gigawatts on the peak," Rystad said. "The combination of offshore and onshore wind and solar, geothermal and biomass with solid backup from both battery and pumped hydro, should actually enable Japan to see self-dependency in energy in 40 years, or by 2060 even," he said.Abdullah Barez got to Shake Shack bright and early on Thursday morning, a few hours before the U.S. burger joint opened its first Canadian location in Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square.Barez, who worked a morning shift, was out front by 7:45 a.m. ET.
