I-1. Overall Status
Transition of Final Energy Consumption (2)

Japan’s final energy consumption has increased almost continuously, except immediately after the two oil crises and during the recent economic recession.
The ratio of industrial: commercial/residential: transportation uses shifted from 4:1:1 (oil crisis) to 2:1:1 (FY2003).
