Trade and Industry. Long-term Outlook Basic Principle for Drawing the Long-Term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook Through the process to simultaneously achieve specific policy targets related to safety, energy security, economic efficiency, and environment, which are basic viewpoints of the energy policy, Draw an outlook based on the basic guideline of the policies given in the Strategic Energy Plan, such as reducing dependence on nuclear power generation as much as possible by promoting thorough energy efficiency and conservation, introduction of renewable energy, and introduction of efficient thermal power plants <Policy target for 3E+S> Safety Safety is the top priority. Energy security Economic efficiency Environment Self-sufficiency: About 5%, higher than before the earthquake (about 0%) Electricity cost: To lower from the current level (9.7 trillion yen in FY03 to 9.5 trillion yen in FY030) Greenhouse gas emission reduction target: comparable to the targets of Europe and the US 9

Japan Russia Energy Cooperation 5
Promoting cooperation with Russia on energy The importance of cooperation between Japan and Russia From the viewpoints of Russia s potential for abundant natural resources, geographical proximity, and other advantages, the cooperation between Japan and Russia on energy is important for Japan to diversify its energy sources and ensure stable energy supply. In addition to the upstream oil and gas fields in which two countries have been traditionally working together, other types of cooperation are also making steady progress, including cooperation in the fields of energy conservation and renewable energy, such as wind power generation, and cooperation in the field of nuclear power, such as the decommissioning of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Japan-Russia Energy Initiative Council To ensure steady progress in Japan-Russia cooperation, the "Japan-Russia Energy Initiative Council" was established in November 06 (chaired by Japan s Mr. Seko, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and Minister for Economic Cooperation with Russia, and chaired by Russia s Mr. Novak, Minister of Energy). Under the Council, three working groups were set up to study three fields of "hydro carbon," "energy conservation & renewable energy," and "nuclear power." Inviting participation from concerned private sector companies, these groups are driving this initiative by which public and private sectors are working in an integrated manner. (*The first council was held in November 06 in Moscow, the second in January 07 in Moscow, the third in April 07 in Tokyo, and the fourth in September 07 in Vladivostok.) Future cooperation In December 06, when Russian President Mr. Putin visited Japan, two countries signed 3 energy-related, public/private memoranda of cooperation and other outcome documents (0 when all fields are combined). Furthermore, when Prime Minister Mr. Abe visited Russia in April and September 07, Japan and Russia signed three (9 in total) and eight (56 in total) outcome documents, respectively. To substantiate the individual items of cooperation that two countries agreed, the Council and each working group are now taking necessary measures. Promoting cooperation with Russia on energy Three working groups under the Japan-Russia Energy Initiative Council Hydro carbon (oil, natural gas, and coal) Sophistication of upstream oil and gas, LNG projects, and the related plants; Construction and technological development of petrochemical plants; Cooperation toward the development and expansion of gas and LNG markets; Cooperation toward coal purchase. Energy conservation & renewable energy Promoting the introduction of wind power generation and cogeneration (local production, technical demonstration); Promoting technical exchanges to create opportunities for energy conservation analysis and projects. Nuclear power Nuclear power related activities in areas where cooperation between Japan and Russia makes sense, such as the decommissioning of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and the associated basic research, and other types of cooperative basic research.
