Binational research council publishes reports on German-Japanese energy transition cooperation

German-Japanese Energy Transition Council

The German-Japanese Energy Transition Council (GJETC), a bi-national research council for cooperation in energy transition and climate action established in 2016, has published its first major studies on research synergies between the two countries, the GJETC says in a press release. German researcher Stefan Thomas of the Wuppertal Institute says the analysis revealed differences in approach, framework conditions and short-run targets, and developed common recommendations on “how to establish a long-term risk-minimizing energy strategy which protects the climate and natural resources and at the same time drives ecological modernization and international competitiveness of the economy.”
