6 FAQs about [Energy synergy Japan]

What is Japan's 6th Strategic Energy Plan?

On October 22, 2021, the Government of Japan published the 6th Strategic Energy Plan to show the direction of Japan’s energy policy. It explains our climate-related efforts to overcome challenges toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It also covers policies to solve various issues in relation to the energy supply/demand structure of Japan.

Why does Japan need a multi-layered energy supply structure?

Japan is a country with limited natural resources. There is no one source of energy that is superior in every way. Therefore, it is essential to create a multi-layered energy supply structure in which each energy source is exploited fully for its best performance and compensates for disadvantages of other resources.

Do energy imports benefit the Japanese energy system?

Transitioning to renewables requires land area which is limited in Japan. In this context, the benefits of energy imports on the Japanese energy system were investigated. The modelling outcome demonstrates the energy system benefits of importing sustainable electricity and e-fuels.

Why is Japan a major consumer and importer of energy?

What is Japan's Energy Strategy?

Subsequently, with global environmental concerns emerging in the 1980s/90s, Japanese policymakers framed national energy strategy as 3 E – energy security, economic efficiency, and environment (later 3 E + S (safety)) (ANRE, 2018).
