Japan Coal Market Trends and Drivers:

Japan's coal market is developing rapidly fueled by multiple interrelated factors starting with the significant role of coal in Japan's electricity generation. Even though Japan has been long regulated by the international community to lessen its dependence on fossil fuels, coal is a significant component of the Japanese energy mix, accounting for a significant percentage of the country's electricity supply. The limited number of domestic energy resources and the need to ensure energy supply stability OR energy security also factored into the role of coal within Japan's energy mix. Other factors for the current expansion of Japan's coal market include world coal prices, coal trade policy, and international treaties regarding climate change and emissions commitments. To ensure energy security, Japan is continuing to import coal from countries like Australia and Indonesia making it one of the biggest coal importers in the world making it one of the biggest coal importers in the world.

Coal also continues to have significant demand in industries such as steel and cement as well. Additionally, even though Japan has pledged to build clean energy capacity as part of its obligations under the Paris Climate Change Agreement and reduce coal use, and as mentioned above, is slowly headed in that direction, there had been the multi-pronged agenda for future coal demand and the arguable longer-term eventual move to fossil fuel-free energy paradigm cemented. According to the Japan Coal Association, Japanese government officials have explicitly explained that Japan will moved away from coal by 2030 or 2025 by getting its by cutting down on coal use to reach its minimum target coal objectives by "increasing" renewable energy capacity and energy efficiency.
