6 FAQs about [Tokyo coal-to-electricity energy storage project factory operation]
When will new coal-fired power plants start operation in Japan?
In the midst of talks to take place on decarbonization at COP27, new coal-fired power plants are starting operation in Japan. Misumi Power Station Unit 2: Trial operation began on March 23, 2022 and commercial operation on November 1, 2022. Chugoku Electric Power started commercial operation of the Misumi Power Station Unit 2 on November 1, 2022.
How many coal-fired power plants are there in Japan?
As of April 2024, there are 166 coal-fired power plants operating in Japan (excluding mothballed units). To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the government must set a target to completely phase out coal-fired power by 2030 and should have already started to retire many of Japan’s existing coal-fired power plants.
Why does Japan need a coal-fired power plant?
Despite its commitment to the Paris climate accord, Japan is building state-of-the-art coal-fired power plants in its own country and financing them in developing countries. Japan has few natural resources of its own and has to import most of its energy. As a result, diversification of fuels is important to the country.
Why were some of Japan's coal projects scrapped?
Some of Japan’s coal projects were scrapped because they did not make economic sense. Japan had a plan to construct 30 new coal-fired plants totaling 16.7 gigawatts of output by the end of March 2018 as part of an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by replacing aging units with more efficient units.
Why does Japan use coal?
Coal was also a preferred choice of fuel for new electricity generation after the Fukushima nuclear accident and is part of the country’s fuel diversification plans. Japan is second to China in financing coal plants in developing nations.
Should Japan start a new power plant?
Japan should not begin operation of new plants and must accelerate the retirement of old plants. In November, a new large-scale coal-fired power plant (Misumi Power Station Unit 2) started operation and another (Saijo Power Station Unit 1) began firing.
