Abstract

As a measure against global warming, by the second half of this century in the Paris Agreement, we agreed to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Japan is shown to achieve a 26% reduction in 2030 and an 80% reduction by 2050. In a low-carbon society, it is required to use energy efficiently and without waste. In order to achieve this, a distributed generation has attracted attention. The combined heat and power systems make it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve economy by saving energy by effectively using both electricity and waste heat. Also, the use of renewable energy can reduce both fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, storage batteries are expected to contribute to further promotion of the use of renewable energy. In this paper, using an optimal power plant mix model considering heat demand of the residential and commercial sectors and the power and gas transportation costs, we will examine the effects of introducing residential and commercial solid oxide fuel  cell combined heat and power systems, photovoltaic power generations and storage batteries on energy systems and greenhouse gas reduction in 2030.
