Sitting on an almost infinite energy source—Japan’s geothermal and renewables’ potential and reality

Abstract

According to the US Energy Information Administration, Japan produced in 2013 only 3 % of its domestic gas consumption and 0.3 % of its domestic oil consumption. It has emerged as the world’s largest importer of liquefied natural gas, the second-largest importer of coal and the third largest of net oil. For this reason, the exigencies of energy supplies in Japan call for durable solutions that are sustainable and reliable. The present situation of under developed own energy potential contradicts the abundant and inexhaustible sources of renewable energy within Japan.
