FY2024 Energy Supply and Demand Report (Revised Report)

1. Highlights of the revised report

(1) Trends in energy demand

• Final energy consumption decreased by 2.0% year-on-year; by energy source, while coal decreased by 3.9% and petroleum by 3.8%, city gas increased by 3.2% and electricity by 0.6%.
• While the business sector and the transportation sector showed a decrease, the household sector remained almost flat.
  • A breakdown of the final energy consumption of each sector on a year-on-year basis shows decreases of 2.7% in the business sector (with the manufacturing sector down by 4.1%) and 1.5% in the transportation sector (with passenger transportation down by 0.5% and cargo transportation down by 2.8%).
  • Electricity consumption in the business sector increased by 0.6% year-on-year (with the manufacturing sector down by 0.5%), while that of the household sector increased by 0.7%.

(2) Trends in energy supply

• Domestic primary energy supply decreased by 0.5% year-on-year. The supply of fossil fuels dropped by 1.3%, and the supply of non-fossil fuels increased by 2.5%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point decrease in dependence on fossil fuels.
  • Regarding fossil fuels, while petroleum decreased by 3.7%, coal increased by 0.1% and natural gas and city gas by 1.2%. The share of non-fossil fuels rose to 19.9%, driven primarily by a 9.6% increase in nuclear power, following the restart of two power plants. Renewable energy (excluding hydroelectric power) increased by 1.2%.
• Electricity generation increased by 0.4% year-on-year to 0.9911 petawatt-hours. The share of non-fossil power sources reached 32.5%.
  • The power generation mix showed that renewable energy (including hydroelectric power) accounted for 23.1% (up by 0.2 percentage points), nuclear energy for 9.4% (up by 0.9 percentage points), and thermal power (excluding biomass-fired generation) for 67.5% (down by 1.1 percentage points), all compared to the previous year.

(3) Trends in energy-related CO2 emissions

• CO2 emissions decreased by 1.6% year-on-year to 0.91 gigatons. This is the lowest emissions level since fiscal 1990, representing a 26.6% decrease from fiscal 2013.
  • The emissions continued to decline, driven by a reduction in fossil fuel use, as total energy consumption fell and the use of non-fossil fuels expanded.
  • By sector, emissions decreased by 1.6% in the business sector, 0.7% in the household sector, and 1.6% in the transportation sector, compared to the previous year.
• CO2 emissions intensity for electricity (end-user consumption) decreased by 1.8% year-on-year to 0.45 kg-CO2/kWh.
