Electric Power Sharing Co., Ltd. will use Chubu Electric Power’s AI-based power generation prediction technology to conduct a “Deco-katsu” nudge demonstration experiment to encourage prosumers to maximize CO2 emissions avoidance.
*Under the new national movement “Deco-katsu” aiming to realize a decarbonized society, a Ministry of the Environment nudge social demonstration was conducted to encourage maximization of renewable energy sales*
Electricity Sharing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Naoki Sakai) has launched a nudge program to encourage prosumers to maximize their CO2 emissions avoidance as part of the new national movement “Deco-katsu” that aims to realize a decarbonized society. The demonstration is being carried out under contract from the Ministry of the Environment.
“ Decokatsu
” is the nickname of the “National Movement to Create a New and Prosperous Life Leading to Decarbonization,”
It is a new word that combines “Deco”, which includes
“Decarbonization” (DE), which reduces CO2 (CO2), and “Eco” (Eco), which is good for the environment, and activities and lifestyle. Ministry of the Environment’s “Decokatsu” introduction site: https://ondankataisaku.env.go.jp/decokatsu/
In order to contribute to the further mainstreaming of deco living, we have independently developed a smartphone app based on our original DS nudge model: electric power version and using Chubu Electric Power’s AI-based power generation prediction technology. , we are conducting a nudge demonstration to encourage optimal behavior among prosumers.
We are also conducting social demonstration experiments (GX Community Project) with the cooperation of multiple local governments, including Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture.
*Our unique solution*
Our company is 24/7 Carbon Free, which aims to realize 100% real-time renewable energy supply and demand, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, under the initiative of the United Nations from 2023.
We are a member of Energy Compact (24/7 CFE Compact: 24/7 Carbon Free Energy Compact) and are considering countermeasures.
Also, GHG Protocol Scope 2
In anticipation of the movement to refine location standards in the guidance, 1. Calculate the CO2 emission coefficient of the power transmission and distribution network by time of day, 2. Calculate the prosumer’s avoided CO2 emissions during the period, and 3. By calculating the period average CO2 emission avoidance coefficient of consumers, we developed a technology that allows us to claim that “the amount of CO2 emission avoidance increases due to the night shift of electricity consumption”, which was previously difficult to do, and obtained a patent last year. We are doing so.
This project will be carried out using our unique technology. Project overview (scheduled for 2020 6-7)
Toward the realization of a local circulation/symbiotic economy and society, a BI-Tech model that encourages behavioral changes in prosumer households that have solar power generation systems on their roofs, etc., in order to circulate local renewable energy locally, is an energy-saving model. Prosumers (carbon-negative households) who actively promote carbon-zero will support “carbon-plus households” that cannot achieve carbon zero, and the (virtual) community will work together to dig deeper into energy conservation, reducing the carbon footprint of the entire region. We will build a BI-Tech model that aims for neutralization.
Popularization of local renewable energy
With an eye toward achieving carbon neutrality (net zero) at the regional level, prosumers and other
We aim to achieve carbon neutrality at the regional and grid level through cooperation between households that produce CO2 and those that do not.
The value of renewable energy power generation (CO2 emission avoidance coefficient (▲kg-CO2/kWh)) is the same regardless of the time of day. Although it was possible to express the value in terms of value, it was not possible to claim that “the night shift of renewable energy discharge reduces CO2 and is eco-friendly.”
Therefore, using our unique patented technology, we have made it possible to quantitatively calculate the period average CO2 emission avoidance coefficient (time machine value of storage batteries) for suppliers (prosumers).
Collecting past electricity purchases and sales from the Electric Plumbing Association, and utilizing Chubu Electric Power’s AI prediction technology, predict and visualize each household’s surplus electricity sales, self-consumption, and avoided CO2 emissions (baseline) using AI. We are developing our own smartphone app. Here, we use our patented technology to evaluate efforts to reduce CO2 emissions through surplus electricity sales and provide continuous feedback.
In FY 2020, feedback to the monitor will be provided two days later due to the limitations of JA service, but in FY 2020, CO2 emissions avoided and monetary points will be provided within a few hours after power generation and consumption. – Enables timely feedback on rankings. We also plan to verify the additional benefits of immediate feedback.
From fiscal year R6 to fiscal year R7, we plan to conduct a
demonstration of maximizing and optimizing surplus electricity sales volume based on the results of preliminary demonstrations conducted in previous years targeting monitors nationwide.
In addition, using the innovator theory, we will construct a personalized nudge intervention model and its effectiveness
verification model based on the attributes and consciousness of each subject.
In addition, Hourly with the cooperation of charging companies We will implement matching and GX community demonstrations in collaboration with local governments, and consider commercialization after the demonstrations, including renewable energy self-consumption value and electricity community transaction platform business.
