JERA Cross, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JERA, is launching a service in Japan to monitor and verify the clean energy sources used by business customers on an hourly basis. This initiative, based on the EnergyTag standard and in collaboration with Flexidao and the University of Tokyo, aims to enhance the accuracy of CO2 emission reporting from energy use.
Key takeaways:
- JERA is launching a pioneering service in Japan to monitor clean energy production by attributes and customer energy consumption on an hourly basis, aiming to provide more accurate CO2 emission visibility and transparency.
- The system, developed in collaboration with Flexidao and the University of Tokyo, will apply the scheme developed by EnergyTag.
- This initiative aims to drive market demand for clean energy sources that can generate electricity at night, such as wind and hydrogen, as well as for energy storage solutions, complementing solar, the major renewable source in Japan, to achieve 24/7 carbon-free energy.
Next steps:
- Implement hourly tracking for business customers.
- Offer an energy use visualization dashboard to enhance transparency in energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
