Energy security is critical for Japan
Definition of “Energy Security”:To secure sufficient energy supply at reasonable prices for the achievement, pursuit and maintenance of maximizing economic/social welfares and sustainable development of national economy and citizens
Japan (and every country) requires to achieve energy security as an essential/critical policy goal

Perceived Risks for Energy Security
Contingent risksPolitical and military risks in main energy supply areaAccidents in energy supply chainConsumers’ panic behavior
Structural risksSupplier’s embargo with political objectivesMarket power of major suppliersSupply/demand squeeze due to insufficient investment, rapid growth of demand, etc.Resource constraints and chronic energy shortageSide effects of market liberalization and environmental restrictions
Japan has developed energy policy to enhance energy security in the past 30 years

Energy security “re-visited” in Japan
Japan’s policy initiatives after 1970s resulted in substantial achievement in diversification, stockpile, etc.
But high oil dependence, import dependence, Middle East dependence remain unchangedEmerging risks/threats to global energy security
Energy security policy is still a very important agenda for Japan

Objective of the Strategy
Establishment of energy security measures that our people can trust and rely on
Establishment of the foundation for sustainable development through a comprehensive solution ofapproach for energy
issues and environmental issues all together
Commitment to assist Asian and world nations in addressing energy problems

Important points in implementing the Strategy
Medium- or long-term visions toward the specific direction, with specific numerical targets as a milestoneBreakthrough by the world’s most advanced technologies Strategic collaboration between the government and private organizations and government-wide efforts to strengthen the scheme of carrying out the Strategy

Establishment of numerical target
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 to be lower than 40% by 2030.
Target of reducing oil dependence in the transport sector→ The percentage will be reduced to around 80% by 2030.
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 → The ratio of Japanese developed oil in total oil import will be
increased to around 40% by 2030.(Source) METI “New National Energy Strategy”

Establishment of energy technology strategy
Establish an energy technology strategy as a roadmap for long-term vision Strengthen R&D for energy technology
In order to promote cooperation between the public and private sectors, technical challenges to be solved by 2030 will be summarized in the energy technology strategy, and this approach should take into account the technologies needed from a strategic viewpoint by envisaging the situation in 2100 or 2050. And looking back from then.
