Proportion of power generation resources in Japan

Among the sources of power generation in Japan, fossil energy accounts for 76.3%, and renewable energy accounts for 19.8%.

Fossil energy accounts for 76.3% of power generation, including oil 6.3%, coal 3 1% and natural gas 39%. When fossil energy is burned, it will produce greenhouse gases, which will have an impact on global warming. Nuclear energy that does not produce greenhouse gases now accounts for 3.9%.

Of the 65,438+09.8% renewable energy, 7.8% is hydropower, 7.9% is solar energy, 0.9% is wind energy, 0.3% is geothermal energy and 2.9% is biomass energy.

Especially solar power generation in Japan, because the proportion of solar power generation has greatly increased after Japan adopted the "FIT system" in 20 12. "FIT system" is a fixed-price procurement system. For the electricity generated by renewable energy, the power company will buy it at a fixed high price and then subsidize the users of renewable energy.

Comparison between Japan's Energy Structure and the World's.

According to the report of Japan's Nature, in the world energy structure in 2020, the proportion of fossil energy power generation in Japan is about 80%. Unlike Japan's dependence on fossil energy, the proportion of renewable energy in European countries is very high. Especially in Sweden and Portugal, the proportion of renewable energy even exceeds that of fossil energy.

In response to climate change, Europe has adopted policies such as the European Green Deal, especially in Denmark, where the proportion of renewable energy has reached 80%. In 2020, the fastest growth of renewable energy is in China and the United States, and China accounts for 52% of the newly added renewable energy power generation in the world.
