Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to develop a framework for analyzing the effects of economic cooperation between ASEAN member states, China, Korea and Japan with renewable energy of zero marginal cost as a main energy supply source. The three points of this research are: (1) Analysis of energy market rules in the energy supply-demand system mainly depending upon zero marginal cost energy. (2) Development of the framework for analyzing the economic cooperation effects between ASEAN member states, China, Korea and Japan. (3) Investigation of international framework for electricity market with renewable energy as a main energy supply source.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

限界費用ゼロエネルギーに対しては、それが基幹エネルギーとなったときには新たな市場制度を用意する必要のあることは、本研究における重要な指摘である、そして、再生可能エネルギーの国際市場取引においては、さらに再生可能エネルギーの出力の不確実性を取り除く意味でも、化学エネルギーに変換しておくことは有効なオプションとなり得ることも指摘された。
