1 Coal Demand/Supply Trend & Coal Policy in Japan October 12, 2009 Yoshitaka WATABE, Director for Coal Policy Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan

2 1. Decrease in domestic production & increase in import The volume of domestic coal production was approximately 50 million tons per year in 1960s, which amounts to 75% of total coal consumption. However, at present it is around 1.3 million tons per year, which amounts to only 0.7%. Japan heavily relies on import for coal.

4 3. Coal Import in Japan The imported coal was used mainly for coking until 1970s. Afterthe oil crisis, Japan started importing coal for power generation. The volume of imported coal for power generation has been increasing in the long term, while coal for coking unchanged.

9 8. Increase of the Coal Use for Economic Growth in the World (Primary Energy) The world s Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) is expected to increase by approximately 45% , out of which coal consumption is expected to increase by approximately 60%, and its share within TPES will increase from 26% to 29%. In particular, coal consumption is expected to double in China, increase 2.5 times in India and increase by 15% in the United States. The main factor for such increases is growing demand for fuel for coal-fired power generation.

In particular, China currently accounts for 38% of global coal consumption, and is expected to increase to 50% by Total amount of CO2 emissions of the three countries are 12.6 billion tons, which accounts for 45% of the global CO2 emission amount of 28 billion tons (2006). Three countries - U.S., China, and India - account for 75% in 2030 Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook

11 10. New Development in the Clean Coal Policy of Japan 2009: Major Points of the Report by the Clean Coal Working Group Aggressively promote technology development for the clean use of coal, which is experiencing global demand growth ( CoolGen Initiative). Contribute to alleviating global warming by applying Japan s advanced coal utilization technology to the world ( Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative). < 我が国の石炭利用と3E 達成 > Increase in Coal Use for Economic Growth in the World Global coal consumption is projected to increase by approximately 60% Coal consumption in China: 2X; India: 2.5X; the U.S.: a 15% increase. Coal-fired thermal power plants are to increase as a major source of power. Crude oil 原油 LNG LNG 石炭 Coal Coal prices are stable in the low range. Reserve-production ratio of coal is long and reserves remain abundant. Producing regions are dispersed and a stable supply may be expected. China 中国 インド India 米国 US Japan 日本 EU Germany ドイツ イギリス UK Global 世界計 Japan has the most Environmentally Conscious Coal Utilization Technology Essential to continue the clean utilization of coal, which is economically efficient and stable in supply. Many low-efficiency coal-fired thermal power plants exist in the world. Measures by Japan for further high efficiency utilization of coal are the best in the world.

14 13. Implementation of the Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative ~From Japan to the World: Dissemination of Clean Coal Utilization Technology~ China, the U.S., India, and EU countries including Germany and the United Kingdom are gearing toward expanding their domestic coal use for power generation for energy security and economic reasons. Therefore, it seems difficult to suppress their coal consumption. Positioning Japan as a place to demonstrate environmentally friendly coal-fired thermal power as it posses the world s highest efficiency coal-fired thermal power, and contributes to the alleviation of global warming through applying this technology not only to Asia but to the entire world.
