3 Composition of electrical source in JPN (FEPC(2015)) Nuclear Renewables Hydro Geothermal (0.2%) LNG Oil Coal

4 Obstructive factors of geothermal development in Japan 1. National Parks ( no drillings, no exploration, no researches policy) 80% of the geothermal energy in Japan exist inside national parks where no exploitation had been allowed. 2. Hot springs Some of the owners of hot spring make strong campaign against geothermal development in afraid of degradation of the springs. 3. Cost High initial cost and long lead time prevent private sectors to invest to geothermal developments. 4. Size of hydrothermal systems Power generation around MW is the most suitable from sustainability (~ 30years) point of view in Japan. 5. Reservoir management Some of the operators find difficulties in prevention of scale deposition, maintenance of sustainability and treatment of acid fluid.
