Member State Perspectives PROMOTING HIGH- EFFICIENCY LOW-EMISSION COAL POWER PLANTS JAPAN
CURRENT COAL SITUATION Principles of Policy and Positioning of Coal in the Basic Energy Plan The Cabinet Council decided a new Strategic Energy Plan on April 11, 2014. Coal is reappraised as a base load fuel Enhancement of environmental compliance in coal Clean Coal Technology (1) Principles of the Energy Policy 3E + S Stable supply (Energy security) Cost reduction (Economic Efficiency) Environment Safety (2) Position of Coal Important energy source for the base load power supply Development of high efficiency technology (such as IGCC, etc) METI
COAL POLICY FRAMEWORK Coal will continue to be important part of energy source diversification in Japan. Coal Policy Ensuring sustainable supply of coal resources Promotion of coal utilization technologies Stabilization of energy demand / supply balance. <Acquisition of interests> <Enhancement of relationships with coal producing countries> <Moderation of coal demand/supply through utilization of low rank coal> Development promotion and overseas deployment of clean coal technologies <Efficiency improvement, CO2 reduction, utilization of low rank coal, etc. > <Contribution to CO2 reduction overseas through overseas deployment of clean coal technologies> Policy tools G to G policy dialogues Government supported programs, investment/liability assurance, ODA, yen loan, etc. by JBIC, NEXI Coal Gasification furnace Exhaust heat recovery boiler Gas turbine Steam turbine METI Exhaust gas

AREAS FOR COOPERATION Coal should be used as a main fuel in the future. Non-OECD countries will use much more coal than OECD countries in the future. However, consideration should be paid to reduce air pollution and GHG emission in order to continue using coals. Now, Promotion of Clean Coal Technology is essential. Japan develops promotion and overseas deployment of clean coal technologies introduced here.
Thank you.
