1 Coal in Japan and the World Our Collective Energy Future Fred Palmer Chairman World Coal Association Clean Coal Day in Japan 2011 International Symposium September 6, 2011

2 The Future of Coal is Now Isogo Thermal Power Station, Yokohama, Japan J-POWER s Unit No MW USC Gross thermal efficiency: 45% Reducing emissions to those of an NGCC power plant

3 Japan s Plan: Investment in Advanced Coal Technology JCOAL Development Roadmap A Clear Path to Low-Carbon Coal Source: Japan Coal Energy Center

4 Global Consensus: Technology Creates Low-Carbon, High-Growth Future Eliminating Energy Poverty Becomes Priority No. 1 We should cooperate in achieving the peaking of global and national emissions as soon as possible bearing in mind that social and economic development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of developing countries and that a low-emissions development strategy is indispensible to sustainable development. 4 4

9 Why Coal? Because Electricity is Good And More is Better 1 Beneficial Electrification: Improving quality of life through electricity 2 3 Ecowatts: Using more affordable kilowatts for economic growth and a cleaner environment by avoiding fossil fuel combustion at the point of use Electrotechnologies: The means to drive the application of Ecowatts to create benefits for society, including enhanced energy efficiency Workplace Economic Growth Quality of Life Improvement Access to electricity is strongly correlated with every measurable indicator of human development - Berkeley Science Review, 2008 Environmental Progress

12 Electricity = Our Path Out of Poverty First, the United States I had seen first hand the grim drudgery dger and grind which had become the common lot of American farm women growing old prematurely; dying before their time. - Senator George Norris, sponsor, Rural Electrification ti Act of 1936 Then Japan The Japanese economic miracle is one of the great success stories of the postwar period Industrial activity revived due to cheap energy and access to expanding world demand. - Andrew Gordon, The Wages of Affluence And Now China Electrification in China is a remarkable success story the most important lesson for other developing countries [is] that electrified countries ti reap great tbenefits. - IEA, 2007

20 The Past is Prologue: LNG Closely Linked to the Price of Imported Oil LNG and Oil Prices in Japan Since 1969 Japan Customs Cleared Crude (JCC) If Japan relies on gas to replace lost nuclear capacity, LNG Imports would account for ~ 45% total world LNG imports Japan s LNG import cost averaged $604/t last year, rising 22% from 2009, as international oil prices rose.
