Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Japan comes up
Update: What the new Treasury rules mean for EV supply chains
- ▶ 17:17 Sam Jaffe So, so my company, Adionics, is building a factory in the U.S., and we need to use, we need to purchase Japanese and Korean equipment, but interestingly, there's specific language in here about control software that, for that equipment,…
- ▶ 23:55 Sam Jaffe Yeah, I think internationally, there's certainly been a big, uh, disagreement from coming, especially from Europe and Japan, from Western Europe and, and, and Eastern Europe, uh, the UK and Japan, which are, all of which are strong US… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 40:33 Sam Jaffe I wouldn't say it removes it, but it, it, it does place it on a level playing field with building a new plant in Korea or, or with Japan in the case of the new, uh, the new treaty with Japan. 6 times in the scene
The cost of nuclear
- ▶ 10:24 Jessica Lovering I think, unlike what happened in the U.S., there were still places, like, that had big nuclear fleets building in the nineties and early 2000, like France and Japan kept building nuclear, but places like the U.S., which still has the…
- ▶ 44:48 Jessica Lovering So I live in California, and seeing, you know, Diablo Canyon was supposed to shut down, um, this year and next year, and seeing a very liberal democratic governor change, uh, change the plan for nuclear in California, I think that's a big…
The Volts crossover episode
- ▶ 7:40 Shayle Kann So let me, let me contextualize a little bit, which is, you know, I know you were around for the whole solar story as solar was just starting to mature, but like the, the short version of that story in my mind, if you go way back in solar… 2 times in the scene
Beaming 24/7 solar… from space
- ▶ 39:24 Sanjay Vijendran And, uh, and Japan is intending to do a demonstration in twenty-twenty-five, so they've just announced that they're, they've got funding to work on a, on a demo mission, and these are subscale demos.
The early days of transoceanic hydrogen transport
- ▶ 7:50 Anne-Sophie Corbeau But there are also a couple of countries like Japan, like Korea, like Singapore, who have also said, yes, we are going to import hydrogen. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 14:05 Anne-Sophie Corbeau It has been done only once between Australia and Japan, so you can already see, you know, the kind of trips that we are envisaging, and it was done at the very beginning of, um,
- ▶ 17:14 Anne-Sophie Corbeau The Japanese, I think, are using carbon-neutral gas or LNG because they are going to import LNG. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 24:28 Anne-Sophie Corbeau Uh, you know, one of the few examples that I know of an actual trial is, for example, exports from Brunei to Japan. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 30:06 Anne-Sophie Corbeau There are some people who are considering that for other applications, but ammonia has also potential applications, at least according to the Japanese, in the power generation sector. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 34:46 Anne-Sophie Corbeau For the others, for Singapore, for Japan, definitely for Japan and Korea, this is a little bit problematic, because if you remember what happened with natural gas, you know, they import LNG and not a single drop of pipeline gas.
- ▶ 40:58 Anne-Sophie Corbeau I mean, you know, are they just going to get the money from these hydrogen projects, and you have a bunch of people from Europe or from Japan who are going to come and say, hey, I'm taking the renewable energy, I'm transforming hydrogen,…
Keeping copper from limiting the energy transition
- ▶ 19:24 Cristobal Undurraga And then Germany, Japan, and developed nations consume roughly a million tons per year.
What the new Treasury rules mean for EV supply chains
- ▶ 9:09 Sam Jaffe Yeah, I think internationally, there's certainly been a big, uh, disagreement from coming, especially from Europe and Japan, from Western Europe and, and, and Eastern Europe, uh, the UK and Japan, which are all of which are strong U.S.… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 27:10 Sam Jaffe I wouldn't say it removes it, but it, it, it does place it on a level playing field with building a new plant in Korea or, or with Japan in the case of the new, uh, the new treaty with Japan. 6 times in the scene
2023 trends: biomass, ESG, batteries and more
- ▶ 20:48 Nat Bullard At that scale, not only bigger than Europe, it's like about the size of Japan in terms of total demand for electricity.
- ▶ 37:50 Nat Bullard Uh, and then Japan Panasonic, uh, comes in, comes in fourth with like half of what BYD does. 3 times in the scene
Natural gas whiplash
- ▶ 8:15 Anne-Sophie Corbeau You know, when Fukushima happened, suddenly Japan needed a lot of natural gas in order to replace nuclear generation. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 10:40 Anne-Sophie Corbeau I need to get LNG as soon as possible because my stocks are really declining, and you have to understand that in Japan, Korea, but also China, they do not have as much storage as we do have in Europe and the US. 2 times in the scene
Ammonia: the beer of decarbonization
- ▶ 15:04 Julio Friedmann Basically, the government of Japan has said, we will buy low carbon ammonia at a premium, and we will use it to decarbonize our existing infrastructure. 10 times in the scene
- ▶ 24:15 Shayle Kann Some, you know, import ammonia into, say, somewhere like Japan, and then burn it for power, or perhaps, and I think this makes less sense, but just use ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, ship it around as ammonia, crack it back into hydrogen,…
- ▶ 31:12 Julio Friedmann Um, for petrochemicals, it'll be harder because those are really built for hydrogen or natural gas, and so for a big petrochemical plant, say, in Singapore, you're more likely, I think, to go with ammonia cracking and use hydrogen in the…
- ▶ 40:55 Julio Friedmann It is also the case that the markets are places like Japan. 2 times in the scene
