Fukushima and the Japan’s Energy mix

08/22/2016 9

• Two of the most important

developments affecting world

energy markets in recent years

were the Fukushima nuclear

accident in March 2011 and

the shale gas boom that has

made the US the world’s

largest producer of oil and gas

• Since the Fukushima Nuclear

disaster and the subsequent

nuclear shutdown. the

percentage of fossil fuels

has been increasing, as a

substitute for nuclear power as

fuel for power generation.

• Before Fukushima , Japan had

ranked as the third-largest

generator of nuclear power

in the world.

• The level of dependence on petroleum, which had been on a declining

trend in recent years, increased to 47.2 percent in fiscal 2012.

• Result of elimination of nuclear power generation and substituting it with

fossil fuels was that the energy self-sufficiency percentage* reduced

from 19.6 in 2000 fiscal year to 8.6 in 2013 fiscal year

• Above shows, how much oil is important in Japanese energy mix,

hence it expected that oil price movements have significant effects on

Japanese macroeconomic variables including the economic growth and

the inflation rate and several scholars have showed this. (see inter alia:

Taghizadeh-Hesary et al. 2013; 2015a, Yoshino and Taghizadeh-

Hesary, 2015a).

*Energy self-sufficiency ratio = Domestic production of primary energy (including nuclear)/Domestic supply ofprimary energy × 100

After Fukushima, “Oil” plays more significant

role in the Japanese economy

Fukushima nuclear disaster

(March 2011)

Higher sensitivity of Japanese economic

sectors to oil price fluctuations

lower sensitivity of Japanese

economic sectors to oil price

fluctuations

Taghizadeh-Hesary et al 2015, investigated the effects of imported crude oil

price fluctuations on oil consumption in various economic sectors in Japan.

And compared it before and after Fukushima disaster.

They concluded that the transportation, industrial, and commercial

sectors in Japan have a high negative sensitivity to oil price positive

impulses.

The results of this paper show that in the second sub-period, in the wake of

the Fukushima nuclear incident, because the country’s dependency on oil

increased, almost all economic sectors had lower sensitivity to oil price

fluctuations.

-TPP and Energy

08/22/2016 23

• The TPP negotiations initially included four countries with which the

United States already has bilateral FTAs (Chile, Peru, Singapore,

and Australia, which is also Japan’s largest supplier of coal and

LNG),

• Two oil and gas exporters: Brunei and Malaysia

• And New Zealand and Vietnam.

• Canada and Mexico, neighboring U.S. energy trading partners and

members of the North American Free Agreement (NAFTA), joined

negotiations in October 2012.

• Japan joined in July 2013.

• Prior to that, however, the leaders of the then nine TPP countries on

November 12, 2011, announced that they had achieved agreement on

numerous issues and released a detailed outline of the TPP framework,

which never once mentioned the word “energy.”

5-1. Coal

08/22/2016 24

Japan is 100%

dependent on foreign

coal to meet its needs.

Although Japan’s demand

for coal is expected to

grow even further, its

trade in coal with the

United States is still

relatively modest.

Japan relies on

Australia for almost

two-thirds of its coal

imports, while the U.S.

share is only 3%.

However, there is an

opportunity for the U.S.

share to grow given the

abundance of coal that

exists in the United

States.

Page 25: Taiwan Research Institute Aug 22, 2016 Japan’s Energy ... · Source: World Economic Outlook Database, October 2015, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Note: GDP, gross domestic product

08/22/2016 25

• The United States has the richest

coal reserves in the world,

equivalent to over two hundred years

of domestic demand and over 25%

of the global supply base.

• It recently became the world’s third-

largest coal exporter, due in part to

cheaper shale gas displacing coal in

U.S. power-generation markets. is

coal was then shipped to Europe,

where it replaced more expensive

natural gas.

The United States has the richest coal reserves in the World

• As a result, coal exports more than doubled between 2009 and 2012 to a

record 126 mt.

• Looking ahead, the EIA projects that U.S. coal exports will increase to 161 mt

by 2040, with new exports mostly coming from the West Coast

• The Powder River Basin (PRB) in

Wyoming and Montana is likely the

primary source of these potential

new coal exports to Japan, as it

contains the world’s largest deposits

of low-sulfur, sub-bituminous coal.

• The fifteen or so mines operating

there produce 40% of U.S. steam

coal output, and there is potential

for expansion.

• IEA: “PRB could be game

changer in global coal markets.”

• IEA: PRB would have the short-term effect of decreasing international

coal prices by up to $15 per ton.

Environmental concerns and infrastructure limitations in

the west coast might restrict the US coal export to Japan

• There is limited capacity

on the West Coast to

export coal, and

significant investment in

expansion of port, rail

and mining infrastructure

is needed.

• new ports in Oregon and Washington will add approximately 50 MT of

annual export capacity however these are not enough.

• The outlook for increased coal exports out of the Pacific Northwest is clouded

by environmental concerns and resistance by local stakeholders.

5-2. Oil

08/22/2016 28

• Japan consumes about

4.7 million barrels per

day (mmbd) of oil,

almost all of which is

imported, and is

dependent on the

Middle East for

approximately 80% of its

oil supplies.

• The U.S., is only a small

supplier of crude and

product to Japan.

• In 2011 the US became a net exporter of refined products for the first time

since 1949, and currently exports a net balance of about 1.5 mm bd. Of this

amount, Japan accounts for about 135,000 barrels per day on average,

5-3. Natural gas

08/22/2016 30

• Japan accounted for 37% of world

trade in LNG in 2012, with no single

source.

• Traditionally, the power sector has

accounted for just over half of

Japanese demand for natural gas.

• After the Fukushima LNG

consumption by electric utilities

grew by roughly 33% from 2 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) in 2010 to 2.7 tcf in

2012.

• EIA calculated rose from $9 per million British thermal unit (mmbtu) before the

crisis to $16 mmbtu in 2012, an increase of 78%.

Japan has high demand for cheap LNG

• This translated into a 24% jump in LNG imports from 3.5 tcf per year in 2010 to

4.3 tcf per year in 2012.

• the outlook for U.S. shale gas revolution resulted in a drastically shift in LNG

export. Whereas in 2008 shale gas production was 5 bcf per day, production soared to 32

bcf per day in 2014, an increase of over 600%.

• For countries with which the US does not have FTAs, the Department of Energy (DOE)

must issue export permits unless such exports are determined through a public process

to be inconsistent with the public interest.

• Under a new set of procedures finalized in August 2014, this review occurs after either

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the Maritime Administration

(MARAD)—in the case of offshore facilities—has approved the siting of the proposed

project’s LNG export terminal. Obtaining facility approval from either agency is a

lengthy and expensive proposition.

TPP Implementation Offers

New Opportunities for U.S. Exporters

Japan’s efforts to diversify its energy sources is expected

to generate significant growth in the renewable energy

sector, including solar power, wind power, geothermal,

and biomass. Projections indicate that Japan will install

more renewable energy capacity over the next two years

than any country but China. While the Japanese renewable

energy market has always been important to U.S.

companies, Japan’s decision to use policy incentives to

adjust its energy mix has increased the demand for

renewable energy technologies over the last three years,

providing additional opportunities for U.S. exporters

6. Concluding remarks

08/22/2016 34

• Due to Fukushima Nuclear disaster Japan is dependent on imports for beyond 95

percent of its energy supply.

• After Fukushima, Oil, Gas and Coal play more significant role in the Japanese

energy mix.

• In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear incident, because the country’s

dependency on oil increased, almost all economic sectors had lower sensitivity to

oil price fluctuations.

• Demand for petroleum products will be significantly shrinking in Japan.

• US could be a potential supplier of Oil, LNG and Coal to Japan

• The barriers in this middle could not be solved by TPP. The issues are i)

infrastructure limitations and environmental issues in US (coal), ii) legal barriers

(natural gas), and iii) high production costs (shale oil)

• TPP could promote energy related products trade between Japan and the U.S.
