Since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011,Japan has been facing issues such as① a decline in the energy self-sufficiency ratio② an increase in electric power costs③ an increase in the amount of CO2 emissions.In order to overcome these issues, first, it isimportant that every single citizen knows andunderstands the current situation in Japan, andthinks about energy.(May 2018)Based on final figures of the Comprehensive Energy Statistics of FY2016,some of the data in ”Energy of Japan 2017” were revised back to 1990.More detail information, please visit nergy/review.html(Japanese only).
Decline in the Energy Self-Sufficiency RatioQ1How much energy can be self-supplied bydomestic resources in Japan?A1Originally, Japan is poor in resources such as oil and natural gas.The energy self-sufficiency ratio of Japan in 2015 was 7.4% whichwas a low level even compared to other OECD countries.Comparison of Primary Energy Self-Sufficiency Ratios of Major Countries (2015) Coal Crude oil Natural gas Nuclear power Hydro Renewable energy, etc. (Geothermal power, Wind power, Solar power, 65.8％55.9％38.8％28.3％32nd South Korea34thJapan35th Luxembourg702.6％18.9％A low energy self-sufficiency ratio results independence on other countries for resources.Because of this, it's easy to be affected bythe influence of international situations whensecuring resources, which raises concernsover stable energy o7.4％2016Self-SufficiencyRatio8.3％Energy self-sufficiency ratio：In primary energies required for life and economic activity, the ratio that can be secured within one's own country.Source: Created based on IEA "Energy Balance of OECD Countries 2017" * The ranking in the table is the ranking of the 35 OECD countries. Japan based on Comprehensive energy statistics.1Japan's Energy 2017http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/
Decline in the Energy Self-Sufficiency RatioQ2What resources does Japan depend on?A2Japan depends on fossil fuels such as oil/coal/natural gas (LNG) importedfrom abroad. Before the earthquake, dependence was 81% on primaryenergy supply basis , but it is 89% in FY 2016 due to the generation bythermal power plants and the shutdown of nuclear power plants.Trends in Composition of Primary Energy Supply of JapanFY1973Hydroelectric power4.4%Nuclear power 0.6%Renewable energy, etc.1.0%Dependency on fossil fuels94※On Primary Energy Supply BasisHydroelectricpower3.3%LNG 1.6%Coal16.9%％Nuclear power11.2%FY1973LNG18.2%The 1st oil shockCompositionOil, etc. 75.5%Renewable energy, etc.4.3%FY2010Dependency on fossil fuels81※On Primary Energy Supply BasisCoal22.7%％FY2010Before theearthquakeCompositionOil, etc. 40.3%Renewableenergy, etc.7.0%Hydroelectricpower 3.3%Nuclear ency on fossil fuels89※On Primary Energy Supply Basis％CompositionOil, etc. 39.7%Source: Comprehensive energy statistics.* The total amount expressed in % might not be 100% due to rounding.An Increase in Imports of LNGImport Amount of LNG (Trillion Yen)80LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) has expanded its role in recentyears as a clean fossil fuel with the least emission of greenhousegas. Even when the nuclear power plant shutdown after theGreat East Japan Earthquake, LNG thermal power generationcontributed to stable electric power supply. The stable supplyof LNG will be increasingly demanded in the future.Increase60402002005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015(Year)Source: Japan's Energy White Paper 2017【213-1-9】Natural gas supply,Annual report on energy production · supply and demand statistics, Trade statisticsJapan's Energy 2017http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/What is LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)?Natural gas is produced from associated gas of oil fields or independent gas fields,comprised mainly of methane. Because it is in gaseous form at normal temperature/pressure, transported by pipeline in the gaseous form, or by tanker as LNG afterbecoming a liquid form by being cooled to -162 C, either method of which is adopted.Natural gas is frequently used because it is relatively clean among the fossil fuels.2
Securing ResourcesQ3What countries does Japan import resources from?A3Japan depends about 86% of crude oil on the Middle East such asSaudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates etc. Japan also mostly dependson imports from foreign countries for natural gas and coal.2016 Japanese Import Counterparts of Fossil FuelsOman 1.2％Indonesia 1.6％Iraq 2.3％Mexico 2.7％Russia6.1％Iran6.7％Others3.1％Nigeria 2.3％Oman 3.0％Papua New GuineaBrunei2016Total JapaneseImport Quantity ofSaudi Arabia35.7％Qatar9.2％China1.1％ a26.9％5.1％Indonesia8.0％1.23 billionbarrels24.5％5.0％UAE6.0％Crude OilKuwait6.8％Others1.8％Russia8.8％2016Total JapaneseImport Quantity ofLNG83.34 esia10.8％2016Total JapaneseImport Quantity ofCoal109.87 milliontonsFor securing stable energy sources,while strengthening relations withoil-producing countries in the MiddleEast that are the supply sources ofcrude oil, Japan proceeds with thediversification of supply sources,efforts for further acquisition ofresource rights and interests, andcompetition in the LNG supply.Australia75.5％RussiaIranSaudi ArabiaNigeriaCanadaUSAQatarUAEfrom Middle EastMexicoMalaysiafrom AsiaIndonesiafrom the AmericasAustraliaSource: Trade statistics3Japan's Energy 2017http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/
An Increase in Electric Power CostsQ4How are electric power costs changing?A4After the earthquake, the electricity rate increased, but it is on a downwardtrend since FY 2014 due to the subsequent decline in crude oil price etc.Changes in Electricity out 10％22.421.3181424.2Increase about 25％22.322Homes15.7Industriesabout 14％15.6Increase about 38％14.613.7201020112012201320142015Source: the reports of electricity demand (FEPC), and financial materials of each electric power company, etc.2016（FY）The Situation in the Past Where the Crude Oil Price Fell andthe Current SituationInternational crude oil price WTI (dollar/barrel)1601401201008060In the end of 2000s: Financialfactors are the main cause. Just afterrecording an excessively high pricedue to an inflow of speculative moneyto the crude oil market by monetaryeasing, the speculative money waswithdrawn because of the collapse ofLehman Brothers.The highest price ever145.29 dollarsThe crude oil price was largelyaffected by internationalsituations, and it has repeatedlyviolently fluctuated until now.According to the New PolicyScenario of the InternationalEnergy Agency (IEA), futurecrude oil prices are expectedto rise in the long-term.This will affect electricity ratesand energy costs as well.Arab SpringThe Collapse of Lehman BrothersIn the middle of the 1980s: To an oilproduction increase of non-OPEC oilproducing countries (Mexico, UK, andother countries), Saudi Arabiamaintained the market share, whichcaused an excessive supply.Suspension of a productiondecrease in Saudi ArabiaIEA Outlook（New Policy Scenario）2020: 83 dollars/barrel2030: 94 dollars/barrel2040: 111 dollars/barrelIn the end of the 1990s: Amid concernsover a decrease in oil demand from economicstagnation due to the Asian currency crisis,OPEC decided on a production increase, whichbecame a concern regarding excessive supplyin the future.The production reductionagreement by OPEC andnon-OPEC oil producers.The Asian currency crisisThe highest price atthe time of the Gulf War40The 9/11 terroristattacks in the USThe Shale RevolutionIn the 2010ʼs: Since the 'Arab Spring', crude oil priceshave been around 100 dollars due to geopolitical risksin the Middle East and North Africa region. After that,it fell due to sluggish demand, oversupply caused bysteady production of the US shale oil etc.200Compared with FY 2010before the earthquake, inFY 2014, electricity rates forhomes increased by about25%, rates for industriesincreased by about 38%.Although it is on a downwardtrend since FY 2014, it is stillat a high level of about 10%for homes and about 14% forindustrial use.Jan.1984Jan.1990Source: NYMEX, IEA World Energy Outlook 2016Japan's Energy Jan.2017
An increase in the amount of CO₂ emissionsQ5How much greenhouse gas is emitted in Japan?A5Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the amount of greenhouse gasemissions in Japan had been increasing, reaching 1.4billion tons the highestever in FY 2013. Although it started to decline after FY 2014, 1,307 milliontons was still emitted in FY 2016. In the future, we must also make effortsto reduce it at levels comparable to those of other countries.FY 20101,303FY 20131,410（million t-CO₂）FY 20151,323（million t-CO₂）（million t-CO₂）168175FY20161,307（million t-CO₂）The amount of greenhousegas emissions of the energysources other than CO₂176179620Other than theamount ofelectric powerThe amount ofelectric power682662628453573519507FY 2010FY 2013FY 2015FY 2016 54 milliontonsCO₂ emissions ofthe energy sources86.3%Since the earthquake, theamount of emissions in theelectric power field increasedby 54 million tons due toreasons including generationof more electric power bythermal power plants as asubstitution for nuclear power.This is an increase of about4% of the amount ofgreenhouse gas emissions inJapan as a whole.Source: Comprehensive energy statistics, environmental action plans (FEPC), and calculation results of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in Japan (Ministry of the Environment)."Paris agreement" - what has been decided? What should we do?In December 2015, the Paris Agreement, a new international framework inwhich all countries participate and which is fair and effective, was adopted.In the Paris Agreement, it was decided to make an effort to hold the increasein the global average temperature to well below 2 C compared to beforeindustrialization, and to persue efforts to limit the temperature to 1.5 hu/ondankashoene/pariskyotei.htmlmore information(Japanese)Photo: Cabinet Public Relations OfficeEnergy Situations in Other CountriesGermany: Even though renewable energy is expanding, the pace of CO₂ reduction is slow.Accompanying the expansion of renewable energy, electric power rates are increasing and the national burden isalso expanding. In addition, even though the nuclear power ratio is decreasing, due to an increase of coal-firedpower generation and operating rate of thermal power plants, the pace of CO₂ reduction is slow.UK: Renewable energy and nuclear power are being expanded.Renewable energy is being expanded together with the new establishment of nuclear power. Moreover, electricityrates also tend to be rising due to the influence of levies for renewable energy, etc.USA: Due to expanding the utilization of natural gas, etc., CO₂ emissions is decreasing.In addition to expansion of renewable energy and utilization of nuclear power, as a result of the shale revolution,utilization of natural gas including the electric power generation sector was expanded, which results in promotingCO₂ reduction.China/India: Accompanying economic growth, it is necessary to expand power supply capability.Currently, coal-fired power generation is the main power source (about 60% of world consumption in 2015), butthey are trying to expand renewable energy and nuclear power in the future. Moreover, regarding coal-fired powergeneration, the policy of China is to suppress it, whereas that of India is to utilize it while improving efficiency.As of 2015, China is emitting 28% of the world CO₂ emissions, followed by the United States and India.Source: ：IEA ”CO₂ EMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTION” 20175Japan's Energy 2017http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/
Future EnergyQ6Are there advancements in research anddevelopment of domestic resources?A6Japan is proceeding with research and development of non-conventionalresources such as methane hydrate, in addition to oil and natural gas.Along with research forgrasping the amount ofresources, techniques forrecovery of methane hydrateare being developed forcommercial projects.Research Results MHSurface type methane hydrate（existing on the surface of the sea bottomor in the vicinity thereof）Sand stratum type methane hydrateOki Islands（existing in the stratum several hundredmeters under the seabed and mixed withsand）Research results of oilOgasawaraIslandsand natural gas* The figure indicates approximate locations, not theresearch areas.Methane HydrateAn ice-like substance in which methanegas and water are combined under lowtemperature and high pressureconditions. It's called "burning ice."Minamitori IslandOkinawaYonaguni IslandOkinotori IslandQ7Will hydrogen energy become popular in the future?A7From now, hydrogen energy is expected to be used for various purposesand to play a central role in replacing oil and other resources.NowHydrogen is expected tocontribute to a lowenvironmental burden,energy savings, and energysecurity by not emitting CO₂when used, implementinghigher energy efficiency byutilization of fuel cells, andbeing possible to beproduced from variousenergy sources.Japan's Energy Portable FCFC BusResidential fuel cell(ENE-FARM)Fuel cell vehicle(FCV)20092014Sales began inhttp://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/Sales began in6Hydrogen power generation/FC for business and indutryFC railroad vehicleHydrogen jet aircraft
Thorough Energy Efficiency MeasuresQ8Why are energy efficiency measures necessary?A8The reason is to effectively utilize limited resources. In addition, energy efficiencymeasures can suppress CO₂ emissions, which leads to solving global warmingissues. Continuous efforts for energy efficiency measures are essential.Q9How far have efforts for energy efficiency measures inJapan progressed?A9Japan has excellent energy consumption efficiency and advanced energyefficiency measures. Improvement of consumption efficiency has been sluggish inrecent years, so it is required to further advance energy efficiency measures.Improvement of Energy Consumption EfficiencyFrom 1970 to 1990, Japan largelyimproved energy consumptionefficiency. With 2030 as a goal,Japan is aiming to achieve anenergy consumption efficiencyimprovement of 35%, the samelevel after the oil crisis.1990-20101001970-199035Improved by8060％2012-2030510Energy consumption efficiency：The final energy consumption amount/Real GDP20 (Elapsed years)15The Change Ratio of Final Energy Consumption Amount of Japan (Comparison by rts in each sectorCompared to during the oil crisis,while the real GDP was increasingby 2.6 times, the increase in energyconsumption remained at 1.2 times,which indicates that energyefficiency were promoted.However, the energy consumptionamounts of the office sector andthe residential sector are increasing,so it is required to promote energyefficiency measures.- Energy efficiency of buildings,- ＢＥＭＳ : Energy visualization/management- Energy efficiency of housing,- HＥＭＳ : Energy visualization/management- Next-generation vehicles,- Fuel consumption improvement,- Efficiency of traffic systems,- Automatic drivingThe Whole of Energy Consumption X1.21973IndustrialX0.8FY 1973FY 2015- Commitment to a Low CarbonSociety,- Energy management infactories7HEMS：Home Energy Management SystemBEMS：Building Energy Management SystemJapan's Energy 2017http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/
