- Japan is the 4th largest energy consumer in
the world, behind only the United States, China
and Russia. In 1999, Japanese energy consumption
amounted to 22.0 quadrillion Btu, or 5.7% of
the world total (Japan's population is 2.1%
of world population).
- Japan lacks significant domestic sources of
energy and must import substantial amounts of
crude oil, natural gas, and other energy resources,
including uranium for its nuclear power plants.
In 1999, the country's dependence on imports
for primary energy stood at more than 79%. Oil
provided Japan with 52% of its total energy
needs, coal 15%, nuclear power 15%, natural
gas 13%, hydroelectric power 4%, and renewable
sources 1.3%.

CO2 Emissions in Japan
The amount of CO2 emissions in Japan
- Industry-- 40.3%
- Transportation-- 21.2%
- Household-- 13.0%
- Business-- 12.2%
- Energy conversion-- 7.0%
- Waste-- 6.2%
- Others-- 0.1%
(JPEA http://www.jpea.gr.jp/2/2-6.htm
) 6/25/03
In 1999, Japan emitted 306.6 million metric tons
of carbon, 5% of the world total. Japan's industrial
sector accounts for about half of these emissions,
with the transportation sector at 25%. Oil consumption
is responsible for 60.4% of Japan's energy-related
carbon emissions, coal for 26.6%, and natural
gas for 13.0%. As policies to improve vehicle
mileage take effect, the share of carbon emissions
from the transportation sector should decline.
A Government Advisory Committee for Natural Resources
and Energy is proposing additional emission reductions
by stepping up conservation efforts in all sectors,
expanding renewable power generation, and gradually
switching from coal to natural gas.
