About this listen
Japan was one of the first countries to develop a highly advanced wind industry, largely for export. Today, it is one of the medium-sized markets for wind power. Although the country lost some momentum domestically after being one of the pioneers, it now has ambitious plans, particularly with regard to developing its offshore wind resources.
Professor Chuichi Arakawa, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tokyo, has contributed to wind power development in Japan and internationally for decades. In this episode, he discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the Japanese wind power sector and emphasises the importance of ensuring that local communities benefit directly from wind farms in their vicinity.
