Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study aims to develop the integrated local energy demand and supply system to support the local government on energy and environmental policy for the sustainable development. The method was applied to investigate the economic, environmental and employment effects of local government such as Fukushima, Iwate and Ibaraki prefectures as well as the whole country with using Input-Output Analysis methods. In the study we analyzed the appropriate installation capacity of renewable energy technologies such as solar power, wind power, biomass energy, etc. as well as dispersed energy technologies of polymer electrolyte fuel cell, cogeneration, electricity self-generation and also the economic and employment effect on the local government induced by the wide spread of those technologies. It is concluded that those technologies are able to bring the local government in economic and employment growth as well as energy and environmental improvement of local areas.
