Upcoming Seminar on Offshore Wind Power

Prepare to delve into the latest trends and technological developments in offshore wind power at an enlightening seminar hosted by the New Society System Research Institute. This event will take place on September 30, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM JST. The seminar will be guided by the esteemed Akira Arakawa, Emeritus Professor at the University of Tokyo and Vice President of the World Wind Energy Association.

Seminar Overview

The seminar will commence with a comprehensive introduction to wind energy, particularly focusing on offshore wind power, which stands as one of the key renewable energy resources. Attendees will gain insights into global and domestic trends in offshore wind power projects and technological advancements. Arakawa will discuss crucial developments in the industry, including the implementation of the Renewable Energy Area Utilization Law, which has led to the selection of operators for various projects through Round 3. There will be significant emphasis on the tremendous progress in utilizing the vast Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for offshore wind power, a factor crucial for Japan’s energy future.

Key Issues to Address

However, it is important to acknowledge the challenges looming over this promising sector. The ongoing geopolitical tensions, such as the situation in Ukraine, have led to global shortages of materials and skyrocketing costs, prompting some operators to reconsider their investments. This is particularly significant in Japan, where there are currently no domestic wind turbine manufacturers. Professor Arakawa will steer discussions on how Japan can foster the healthy development and integration of offshore wind power technologies to meet targets set for carbon neutrality by 2050.

Seminar Agenda

The seminar's content will cover multiple facets of offshore wind power:
1. Introduction to Wind Power
2. Current Status of Offshore Wind Power in Japan and Abroad
3. Projects Based on the Renewable Energy Area Utilization Law
4. Offshore Wind Power Technologies and Turbine Types
5. Project Formation and Local Development in Offshore Wind Power
6. Advancements in Japan's Offshore Wind Power Aiming for Carbon Neutrality
7. Q&A Session and Networking

Participation Options

Participants can choose to attend the seminar in person at the Kioi Forum, located on the first floor of the New Otani Garden Court in Tokyo, or via a live webinar on Zoom. Additionally, the seminar's recording will be available for two weeks, allowing attendees to view it at their convenience.
