  6. Japan’s New National Energy Strategy (2006) • Responding to emerging global and regional energy security risks • Concern over “politicization” of global oil market • Diversified energy security risk • Applying “comprehensive energy security” approach • Set numerical targets for key policy goals by 2030 • Acceleration of Nuclear Power Programs, including Nuclear Fuel Recycling and Fast Breeder Reactor(FBR) programs

  7. Diversified, multi-polarized risks of energy security Source: New National Energy Strategy (May 2006) http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/english/data/newnationalenergystrategy2006.pdf

  8. Japan’s New National Energy Strategy (2) Basic Perspectives of “Comprehensive” Energy Security Strategy Source: New National Energy Strategy (May 2006) http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/english/data/newnationalenergystrategy2006.pdf

  9. Japan’s New National Energy Strategy (3) • Target of energy conservation • At least another 30% improvement of efficiency will be attained by 2030. • Target of reducing oil dependence • The ratio will be reduced from current 50% to be lower than 40% by 2030. • Target of reducing oil dependence in the transport sector • The percentage will be reduced from 100% to around 80% by 2030. • Development of fuel-cell car elec. Car • Target on nuclear power generation. • The ratio of nuclear power to all power production will be maintained or increased at the level of 30 to 40% or more up to 2030 or later. • Target of overseas natural resources development • Oil volume ratio will be increased from current 18% to around 40% by 2030. • Development of New energy (renewables) • RPS target: 1.35% of electricity in 2010.

  12. Japan’s “Resource Diplomacy” BBC World News, August 28, 2006 “In the game of regional politics, Japan feels it has a role to play in helping offset growing Russian and Chinese influence” Col Christopher LangtonInternational Institute of Strategic Studies source: BBC News http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5291858.stm

  14. Estimated by Governance Design Laboratory RPS target: • RPS target • 2003: 0.3% of electricity sales. • 2010: 1.35% • Over-achieved • ->banking Original target achievement Revised target

  15. Asia Energy and Environmental Cooperation Strategy • Promotion of Energy Conservation • New Energy Cooperation in Asia • Dissemination of Clean Coal Technology • Building of stockpiling system in Asia • Promotion of Nuclear Power Cooperation in Asia

  20. Nuclear Power in Japan in 2030- METI’s Long Term Outlook-June 2004 2003: 52 units (45.7GWe) High Case: +17 units(67.95 GWe) Reference: +10 units (57.98 GWe) Low Case: + 8 units (55.97 GWe) 2000 share: 34% High Case: 47% Reference: 38% Low Case: 37% Source: METI’s Advisory Committee on Energy, June 2004

  21. Source: EPA (Japan) Kyoto Target Japanese GHG emission in 2004 is 7% higher than base year, which makes 13% reduction from 2004 by 2008-2010.

  22. Source: EPA (Japan) How to achieve Kyoto target? • 2010 ref. GHG: +6% of base year. (12% reduction) • 5% reduction of energy-CO2 • 4% in forest absorption • Env.-tax or domestic ETS considered (policy renewal in 2007)

  23. LEAP Model and uncertainty • New Factors to be introduced • Uncertainty: Nuclear, Energy Conservation, and Renewables. • Certainty: • Demand decrease/not increase. • Still about 15-20% of Asia (TPE). • Relative cost of Nuclear, Conservation, and Renewables declined.

  24. Summary • Energy demand in Japan is not increasing rapidly, but still significant increase in “Commercial” and “Passenger.” • Because of unexpected accident and oil price increase, nuclear and oil supply decreased, and coal substituted those decrease. • “New National Energy Strategy” emphasizes “comprehensive energy security” • National resource development • Asia Energy and Environment cooperation • New Strategy states Japan as “Nuclear Nation” with nuclear fuel cycle and future FBRs. (30-40% of electricity) • On the other hand, RPS claims only 0.3% (2003) to 1.35%(2010) of electricity. • Kyoto target is unlikely to be achieved because major policy for energy conservation is “enlightenment.”
