  1. Fact Sheet on Climate Change Special Address by Prime Minister of Japan, Yasuo Fukuda Jan 26, 2008

  2. “Cool Earth” Promotion Programme Future projection (BAU case) ＜ Medium-term Strategy＞ ＜ Long –term Strategy＞ Global CO2 emissions “Post Kyoto Framework” -peak out global emission within the next 10 to 20 years 　“Innovation” -develop innovative technologies -shift to low carbon society “Cool Earth 50” Cut the global emission by half by 2050 • “International Environment Cooperation” • accelerate improvement of • global energy efficiency • new financial mechanism • (Cool Earth Partnership) 2050 2018～2028 Present

  3. Japan's Energy Conservation Efforts are Making Steady Progress The energy consumption in the industrial sector has stayed on the same level while GDP has doubled Trends in Energy Consumption in the Industrial Sector and Real GDP 500 600 450 500 400 Real GDP 350 400 Total energy consumption Real GDP (trillions of yen) 300 in the industrial sector Total energy consumption (1 million kilo liters of crude oil equivalent) 250 300 200 200 150 100 100 50 0 0 1973 1975 1977 1979 1981 1983 1985 1987 1989 1991 1993 1995 1997 1999 2001 2003 Source: General Energy Statistics (Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of the government of Japan) System of National Accounts (Cabinet Office of the government of Japan) 3

  5. Innovative Technology Development ・Japan will formulate“Cool Earth - Innovative Energy Technology Program” in March -increase and focus RD&D investment, and lead international cooperation <Examples > Near zero-emissions coal-fired power generation High-efficiency and low-cost solar power generation • Power generation efficiency : 43% → around over 60%＝cut CO2 by 30% ＋ CCS(CO2 capture and storage) technology ↓ Near zero-emission • Power generation efficiency: 15-20%　→ over 40% • Cost: 46 yen/kWh → 7 yen/kWh ① ② • High-efficiency and low-cost solar cells with new compounds/structures. • Thin-film silicon technology for flexible solar cells Separation and capture Pipeline transportation ③ Coal-fired power generation Injection ④ CO2 storage (Thin-film silicon solar cells)

  6. Development of Innovative Technologies to achieve the Long-term Goal • Investment in energy-related R&D has been stagnating after steep reduction since 1980 • Japan leads Public Investment in Research and Development in the Energy Sector Global Trend in Public Investment in Research and Development in the Energy Sector Trend in Public Investment in Research and Development in the Energy Sector by Country (2005) (Unit: US$1 million) Increase required Steep reduction (Unit: US$1 million) 129.9 UK Italy 320.5 Japan leads the world 513.2 Germany France 523.4 3017.8 US 3905.3 Japan 1250 ＥＵ 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Source: IEA Source: IEA; European Commission. 6
