The 6th Strategic Energy Plan Table of Contents
Preamble
- Countermeasures to climate change issues -
- Overcoming challenges of Japan’s energy supply and
demand structure -
- Relationship between the structure of the 6th Strategic Energy Plan and
the targets for 2050 and FY 2030 -
1. Progress in the past decade after the accident at TEPCO’s Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
(1) Reconstruction of Fukushima is the starting point of the energy policy
(2) Future efforts for reconstruction of Fukushima
2. Changes in the situation since formulation of the 5th Strategic Energy
Plan
(1) Global trends toward decarbonization
(2) Changes in the situation related to energy other than the climate
change issues
3. Confirmation of the basic viewpoint (S+3E) of the energy policy
(1) Ensuring safety as a major premise
(2) Ensuring stable and resilient
energy supply
(3) Ensuring environmental suitability from the point of view of climate
change and harmony with surroundings
(4) Ensuring economic efficiency of energy
4. Challenges and responses to realize carbon neutrality by 2050
(1) Energy supply-demand structure in the carbon neutral era in 2050
(2) Importance of multiple scenarios
(3) Efforts required in power sector
(4) Efforts required in industry, commercial, residential
and transport
sectors
5. Policy responses towards 2030 looking ahead to 2050
(1) Position of each energy source on the basis of the current technologies
(2) Basic points of view of the energy policy towards 2030
(3) Demand side’s thorough energy conservation and supply side’s
introduction and expansion of non-fossil energy by electrification and
hydrogenation in
view of decarbonization
(4) Sophistication of the secondary energy structure including effective use
of distributed energy resources such as storage batteries
(5) Efforts for utilization of renewable energy as the major power source
(6) Re-establishment of the nuclear power policy
(7) Future position of thermal power
generation
(8) Drastic enhancement of efforts towards realizing the hydrogen society
(9) Promotion of securing stable energy supply and mineral
resources
looking ahead to the carbon neutral era
(10) Future position of supply system of
fossil fuels
(11) Further promotion of the energy system reform
(12) Global harmonization and global competition
(13) Outlook for energy supply and demand in FY 2030
