1 Coal Demand/Supply Trend & Coal Policy in Japan October 12, 2009 Yoshitaka WATABE, Director for Coal Policy Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan

2 1. Decrease in domestic production & increase in import The volume of domestic coal production was approximately 50 million tons per year in 1960s, which amounts to 75% of total coal consumption. However, at present it is around 1.3 million tons per year, which amounts to only 0.7%. Japan heavily relies on import for coal.

4 3. Coal Import in Japan The imported coal was used mainly for coking until 1970s. After the oil crisis, Japan started importing coal for power generation. The volume of imported coal for power generation has been increasing in the long term, while coal for coking unchanged.

9 8. Increase of the Coal Use for Economic Growth in the World (Primary Energy) The world s Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) is expected to increase by approximately 45% , out of which coal consumption is expected to increase by approximately 60%, and its share within TPES will increase from 26% to 29%. In particular, coal consumption is expected to double in China, increase 2.5 times in India and increase by 15% in the United States. The main factor for such increases is growing demand for fuel for coal-fired power generation. Outlook of TPES Outlook of Global Demand for Primary Energy Annual average increase rate Coal (US) (China) (India) PetroleumOil Gas Nuclear Power Hydraulic Power Biomass Other Renewables Total Approx. 45% increase The world s largest coal consumer is China (2.3 billion tons), followed by the United States (1 billion tons) and India (0.5 billion tons). In particular, China currently accounts for 38% of global coal consumption, and is expected to increase to 50% by Total amount of CO2 emissions of the three countries are 12.6 billion tons, which accounts for 45% of the global CO2 emission amount of 28 billion tons (2006). Three countries - U.S., China, and India - account for 75% in 2030 Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook

11 10. New Development in the Clean Coal Policy of Japan 2009: Major Points of the Report by the Clean Coal Working Group Aggressively promote technology development for the clean use of coal, which is experiencing global demand growth ( CoolGen Initiative). Contribute to alleviating global warming by applying Japan s advanced coal utilization technology to the world ( Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative). Increase in Coal Use for Economic Growth in the World Global coal consumption is projected to increase by approximately 60% Coal consumption in China: 2X; India: 2.5X; the U.S.: a 15% increase. Coal-fired thermal power plants are to increase as a major source of power. Coal prices are stable in the low range. Reserve-production ratio of coal is long and reserves remain abundant. Producing regions are dispersed and a stable supply may be expected. Japan has the most Environmentally Conscious Coal Utilization Technology Essential to continue the clean utilization of coal, which is economically efficient and stable in supply. Many low-efficiency coal-fired thermal power plants exist in the world. Measures by Japan for further high efficiency utilization of coal are the best in the world. The share of coal in power generation in United States, Germany and other advanced countries is higher than in Japan. China India US Japan EU Germany UK Global Coal NaturalGas Nuclear Power Hydraulic Power Wind Power SolarLight Other Renewables Many countries are planning to develop a number of new coal-fired thermal power plants. 955 plants (by 2020; China estimated from the outlook of installed capacity, etc.) United 110 plants States Germany 26 plants (by 2018) United Kingdom 11 plants (by 2020) Japan 5 plants (by 2020) Japan s coal-fired power generation has achieved the world s highest efficiency. Thermal Efficiency (Power Generation, LHV) Japan German y US Australia China India Japan Germany US Au stralia China India Implementation of the CoolGen Initiative Practical applications of high efficiency coal-fired power generation technology upon replacement in the future, thus realizing low carbon emissions for coal-fired thermal power plants. Furthermore, promote demonstrative research (the CoolGen Initiative) for the realization of Zero-Emissions Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants by combining IGFC with CCS, which aim to achieve ultimate power generation efficiency. Continuous effort for efficiency improvement is necessary to achieve the goal of reducing CO 2 emissions by half by Enhancing the Multilayered Relations with Coal Producers Enrich government-level policy dialogues with major coal producers. Construct multilayered cooperative relations with major coal producers. Implementation of the Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative Positioning Japan as a place to demonstrate environmentally friendly coal-fired thermal power plants as Japan possesses the world s highest efficiency coal-fired thermal power plants, and contributes to alleviate global warming issues through disseminating this technology not only to Asia but also to the entire world. Simultaneous achievement of the 3 Es related to global coal use can be achieved by transferring the coal-fired thermal power technology to other countries. Information Dissemination/Human Resources Development Regarding Coal Utilization Enhance information dissemination on the economic efficiency of coal, advanced utilization technology, etc. Human resources development of those who shall acquire the skills for coal and other resources development, and innovative coal use technology.

12 11. Implementation of the CoolGen Initiative ~Realization of Zero-Emissions Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants with IGCC and CCS~ While maintaining the domestic infrastructure of coal-fired power plants, promote the mixed combustion of coal and biomass for the time being, practical application of high-efficiency coal-fired power generation technology upon replacement in the future to realizing low carbon emissions of coal-fired thermal power plants.

13 12. Implementation of the Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative ~From Japan to the World: Dissemination of Clean Coal Utilization Technology~ Simultaneous achievement of 3 Es (Economy, Energy Security & Environment) related to global coal use will be achieved through transferring and promoting the application of the world s highest efficient coal-fired power generation technology of Japan to other countries. Highly efficient use of coal contributes to reduce the coal consumption and curbs the decline of world s coal resources. CO2 Emissions of Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants (2004) By applying the best practices of coal-fired power plants in Japan (highest efficiency among commercially operated plants to that of the U.S., China and India, reductions estimated at 1.3 billon tons of CO 2 can be achieved which is equivalent to Japan s total CO 2 emissions. Note: In the case of applying the best practice (highest efficiency level of commercial power plants) of Japan to the existing plants of each country.

14 13. Implementation of the Clean Coal for the Earth Initiative ~From Japan to the World: Dissemination of Clean Coal Utilization Technology~ China, the U.S., India, and EU countries including Germany and the United Kingdom are gearing toward expanding their domestic coal use for power generation for energy security and economic reasons. Therefore, it seems difficult to suppress their coal consumption. Positioning Japan as a place to demonstrate environmentally friendly coal-fired thermal power as it posses the world s highest efficiency coal-fired thermal power, and contributes to the alleviation of global warming through applying this technology not only to Asia but to the entire world.
