The Connection between Today's Energy System and Climate Climate Change

  • Energy
  • Climate Change
  • Fossil Fuels
  • Nuclear Power
  • Pumped Storage Hydropower

In this course, we will explore the critical connection between energy and global climate change, as highlighted in the IPCC's latest Assessment Report 6 (AR6). We will examine the present use of fossil fuels and discuss Japan's innovations to mitigate its environmental impacts. The course will then cover the current state of non-carbon nuclear energy, examining both its potential, as well as the challenges it faces within the evolving low-carbon energy landscape. Finally, we learn how pumped storage hydropower technology supports the integration of steady nuclear power generation with the dynamic nature of energy demand.
