NHK World [制作・演出] Zero Carbon Ahead
Part 3 – The Global Business Frontline

NHK World 2018.03.03

The Paris Agreement aims to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050, which has sped up the growth of “zero-carbon” business worldwide. Part 3 of Zero Carbon Ahead looks at this trend. The world’s biggest solar power station is currently being built in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates — the power it generates will be far cheaper than coal. Dramatic decreases like this in the cost of renewable energy mean that many businesses hope to eventually use renewables for 100% of their energy needs. P&G, one of the world’s biggest consumer-goods corporations, and manufacturing giant GE, which uses AI and smart factories to cut energy use, are 2 such companies featured on this program. China’s leader Xi Jinping has spoken about creating an “ecological civilization”, and Chinese solar and wind energy firms are pursuing new business abroad. Wall Street and in the US, the financial and insurance sectors are investing vast sums into zero-carbon, despite President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Japan is under fire for failing to ride the zero-carbon wave. Fujitsu and other Japanese firms are struggling to achieve low-carbon goals along with their suppliers. The race to reduce carbon emissions to zero is heating up. We report on the latest trends in the world of zero-carbon business.

Part 2 – Energy Transition

NHK World 2017.06.18

This series examines how the Paris Agreement on climate change has affected businesses around the world. The first episode focuses on the financial industry. On Wall Street, fossil fuels are increasingly seen as “stranded assets” to be divested. The program looks at what the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, among others, is doing. The second episode concerns electric power. Germany’s major electric company is facing a serious challenge as renewable energy prices fall. The series also documents efforts to shift to a decarbonized economy, including activities in Japan. Elsewhere, BMW envisions total reliance on renewable energy eventually.

Major electric companies in Germany are pulling out of the fossil fuel business and shifting their mainstay to renewable energy sources. Can they compete with clean energy, which is said to be unstable and comparatively high in prices? We report on firms around the globe employing “digitalization” as a key in seeking new business schemes, in a time when the world is moving toward decarbonization.
