1-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector
Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector
  • Energy consumption in the industrial sector has been generally steady since oil crisis.
  • Energy consumption unit per industrial production index for the manufacturing industry suffered a sharp fall through to the 1980s, but has been on a trend of slight increase since the 1990s.
  • Japan's energy consumption unit against GDP in the industrial sector is lower than those of other major countries.
(Source) General energy statistics,
annual report on industrial indices
Note 1: The industrial production index
is weighted with value added structure
(1995 standard).
Note 2: Since the industrial production
index is affected by sales values, when a sales price drops, the index may go below
the index of production volume.
*Final energy consumption (tons in oil equivalent)
/ real GDP (1995 value in US$)
(both are actual figures for FY2000),
indicated in the ratio
when the Japanese figure is set at 1.

1-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector
Energy Consumption Trend under the Nippon Keidanrenfs Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment
  • Nippon Keidanren has drawn up a voluntary environmental action plan with the common goal of "reducing CO2 emission from the industrial and energy conversion sectors to at least the FY1990 level by FY2010".
  • Implementation of the plan has reduced CO2 emission and maintained energy consumption steady against the FY1990 level.

1-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector
Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector
  • Energy consumption in the commercial/residential sector surged after the oil crisis and is still on the growth trend in recent years.
  • Japan's per-capita energy consumption in the commercial/residential sector is relatively low compared to other major countries, but the difference is narrowing down.

1-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector
Example of Energy Efficiency Improvement in Home Appliances in the Residential Sector
  • While the consumption trend shifts toward large size, the industry has achieved energy efficiency improvement that compensates for the size increase.
