Recently the FAA approved the proposed solution and Vehicles presented by Boeing, and is expected that before July these aircrafts to Toyota partners with Yamato fly again. However, Airbus had announced earlier that will not use these Transport and Hino Motors batteries on its new model the A350. Despite this, the outlook for the battery industry for this year is interesting. According to the latest signumbox Subaru shapes its new generation of vehicles estimates, which will be presented in the next edition of the Analysis report, the use of lithium in batteries for electronic devices would grow Boeing improves 787 Dreamliner lithium-ion battery 10% this year, mainly because of the increase in the use of smartphones and tablets. The use of lithium in batteries for hybrid and electric cars is expected to grow at about 40 – 50% allowing total lithium demand to grow around 6 – 7% in 2013. The next edition of the signumBOX Analysis report is going to be released on late April. For more information about our reports we invite you to visit our website www.signumbox.com.

Introduction Electricity Storage in Japan Electricity storage is important for Generation Capacity(GW) by Energy Source load leveling and reliability/quality improvement Pumped hydro stations are practically used for grid level storage in Japan. (26 GW) Construction of new pumped hydro stations was estimated to become difficult due to shortage of appropriate site and environmental concerns. By contrast, battery could be installed at any place. (Source) IEEJ (end of 2011) Focusing on battery R&D 3 2. Energy Policy in Japan Basic Energy Plan The previous Basic Energy Plan compiled in 2010 called for a boost in nuclear power to about half of Japan’s electricity needs by 2030 from about one-third. After change of administration from LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) to DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) and Great East Japan Earthquake on March 2011, energy policy in Japan have been moving to “zero-nuclear”.. After change of administration from DPJ to LDP again, based on the discussion in the committee, the Japanese government made a draft of the new Basic Energy Plan on 25th February 2014. • A mix of nuclear, renewables and fossil fuel will be the most reliable and stable source of electricity to meet Japan’s energy needs.
