Outlook of development of clean coal technologies in Japan
Japan`s energy consumption is assumed to increase along with her economic growth as shown. Although, increases of coal consumption as for Japan`s primary energy is being controlled, coal fired power generation capacity is to expand by large. Utility companies are planning to construct a number of coal-fired power plants in Japan as shown. Then, coal is positioned as a very important energy source for Japan`s power generation. Consumption of steaming coal in 2010 is estimated to increase to about double of that of 1992. But coal has handicaps of both high ash content and CO{sub 2} emission among other fossil fuels. The Center for Coal Utilization, Japan (CCUJ) is working on the development of clean coal technology with a support of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to produce clean energy from coal.
