There is still enough time to end this nonsense.

Japan (click here) is the world’s third largest economy and seventh largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Its plans for decarbonisation were significantly set back after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster led it to move away from nuclear power and expand the use of fossil fuels.

Japan’s government now plans to increase both renewable and nuclear power. However, it also intends to build significant numbers of new coal power plants. Japan has pledged a 26% reduction in GHG emissions below 2013 levels by 2030.

Good news for the domestic coal market. (click here) U.S. thermal coal exports to Japan increased by 20% in 2018, and 2019 exports as of March are already 38% higher than in 2018, according to the US Energy Information Association (EIA). Trailing China and India, Japan is the world’s third largest importer: taking in more than 210 million short tons (MMst) of coal in 2018. The US is behind Australia, Indonesia, and Russia as Japan’s largest seller. What do you think about the Japanese coal market and its potential impact on domestric production?

From US Department of Energy:

Coal accounts (click here) for about one-third of Japan’s electricity generation. In 2018, Japan’s utilities produced an estimated 317 billion kilowatthours of electricity at more than 90 coal-fired power plants. Coal’s share of electricity generation in Japan was higher in 2018 than it was before the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. In 2010, coal accounted for 25% of Japan’s electricity generation, and nuclear generation accounted for 29%.

Before 2011, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) had planned to reduce coal’s generation share by more than half by 2030, intending for nuclear power to offset coal plant retirements. The plan included increasing the nuclear generation share in Japan’s electricity mix to 50% by 2030. However, as a result of the Fukushima accident and subsequent suspension of Japan’s nuclear fleet, METI now projects a future energy mix of 20% to 22% nuclear, 22% to 24% renewables, 26% coal, and 27% natural gas through 2030
