Targets energy-intensive sectors through several decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures:
• Renewable energy mandates for largest energy consumers
• Sets up a carbon credit trading scheme
• Includes residential buildings in the Energy Conservation and Sustainable Building Code
• Includes vehicles and industrial units in energy consumption standards

Japan – Floating solar power

Japan aims to reduce its reliance on foreign energy and move away from nuclear power by turning to renewables like solar, wind and tidal power.

The Japanese Government has prioritised investments in solar energy:
• 2012 – introduced a renewable energy feed-in tariff
• 2015 – introduced cuts in electricity costs generated by solar power.
• 2021 – invested USD$5.2 billion into the domestic semiconductor industry
• 2022 – offered large subsidies for joint projects with Taiwanese companies (a key semiconductor supplier) and the US

Due to limited available land, Japan has become a world lead in floating solar power (home to 73 of the world's 100 largest floating solar panels).

United States – The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED)

In 2021, the UAE launched its National Water and Energy Demand Management Programme. By 2050, it aims to:
• Improve energy efficiency by 40% in the country's three most energy-intensive sectors: transport, industry and construction
• Increase renewables in the energy mix to 50%
• Expand water re-use by 95%

Indonesia – Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP)

The Council is undertaking a Climate Emergency Review of its local plan and proposes local energy efficiency standards for buildings that go beyond current or planned buildings regulation.

Canada

2025-09-12 17:15:57 UTC

Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations require liquid fossil fuel primary suppliers to gradually reduce the carbon intensity of the gasoline and diesel that they produce and sell for use in Canada. The Regulations establish a credit market to help drive innovation in meeting increasing stringency. Investments and initiatives that complement the Clean Fuel Regulations, such as a biofuels production incentive, are designed to support the development of a clean fuels sector.
