FY2024 Energy Supply and Demand Report (Revised Report)

Japanese April 14, 2026

Energy and Environment Policy The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE) has prepared the Revised Report on the FY2024 General Energy Statistics based on a wide range of energy-related statistics. The purpose of the report is to describe Japan’s energy supply and demand situation.

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.
  Note: Energy amounts in this publication are shown in energy units measured in joules. Data in billion liters of crude oil equivalent are obtained from the PJ data (PJ [petajoule]: 10 to the 15th power joules) herein, multiplied by 0.0258. (Crude oil equivalence: 1 liter of crude oil = 9,250 kcal = 38.7 megajoules (MJ). 1 MJ = 0.0258 liters.)
