I. Situations Surrounding Energy Consumption in Japan

I-1. Overall Status
Transition of Final Energy Consumption by Sector

Final energy consumption in the industrial sector has remained generally steady since the oil crisis.
On the other hand, those of the commercial/residential and transportation sectors have increased significantly.

(Note) Note that, due to revision of the aggregation method in Energy Balance Tables in Japan, values for FY1990 onwards and values for preceding years are the results of utilizing different methods.

I. Situations Surrounding Energy Consumption in Japan

I-1. Overall Status
Primary Energy Consumption per GDP

Japanese primary energy consumption per GDP is the lowest in the world owing to various energy conservation measures taken for the respective sectors.

(Note) Primary energy consumption (tons in oil equivalent)/GDP (thousand US$) indicated in the ratio when the Japanese figure is set at 1. Both are actual figures for FY2002.

I. Situations Surrounding Energy Consumption in Japan

I-1. Overall Status
Rising Crude Oil Dependency on Middle Eastern Countries

The rate of crude oil dependency on Middle Eastern countries has largely surpassed the rate at the time of the oil crises. 77.5% (First oil crisis) 88.5% (FY2003)

I. Situations Surrounding Energy Consumption in Japan

I-1. Overall Status
CO² Emitted from Energy Utilization in Japan

The COP3 (the 3rd Conference of Parties of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) held in December 1997 agreed reduction targets of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions assigned to each developed country and issued the agreement as the "Kyoto Protocol." Japan is responsible for reducing the average value of its total GHG in 2008 to 2012 by 6% in comparison with that in the 1990s. (US=-7%, EU=-8%)
Approximately 90% of Japan's GHG is energy-originated CO².
