India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the country’s clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend not on national but subnational governments. This paper argues that India’s subnational governments have significant potential to...

India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend on subnational governments. This paper argues India’s subnational governments have significant potential to capitalise on diverse natural resource...

インドの外交・安全保障政策やエネルギー・気候変動政策に影響力を持つ著名なシンクタンクであるオブザーバー・リサーチ・ファウンデーション（ORF）に招待され、アラブ首長国連邦（UAE）のアブダビエネルギーセンターにおいて11月12日に開催された「From G20 to COP28: Energy, Climate and Growth」に出席した。 この会議は、今年の20カ国・地域首脳会議（G20）ホスト国であるインドがその成功を広く内外に示し、国連気候変動枠組条約第28回締約国会議（COP28）の開催を控えた議長国であるUAEへとバトンを渡す意味を持っていた。 今年の11月30日から開催されるCOP28において、産油国のUAEが議長国としてリーダーシップを発揮してどこまで世界の脱炭素を進展させ...

This chapter explores the interest in hydrogen adoption across Asian countries for achieving net-zero goals, with a particular focus on Japan's prominent role. While Japan has taken strides in hydrogen initiatives, the extent to which its strategy aligns with ambitious climate targets remains uncertain. The chapter emphasises the importance of...

Since the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2021, global society, including Asian countries, has entered the phase of how to implement a long-term transition roadmap to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Given vital needs for the development in many Asian countries, a...

The world’s advanced economies have committed to phasing out coal over the next seven years. But not Japan, which stands alone insisting it can make coal less damaging to the planet. Nowhere is that more evident than at the nation’s largest coal-fired power plant in Hekinan, a small city in central Japan where 400,000 tons of jet-black piles are...

Japan has adopted several policies that signal its intent to rely on hydrogen to achieve net-zero climate goals. However, many of those same policies are unclear about its support for a transition to green hydrogen. Relying on gray and blue hydrogen without a transition to green hydrogen will harm the climate. It will also result in several other...
