  • Business Development of the Osaka Gas Group
    Business Development of the Osaka Gas Group [Domestic Energy Businesses] [Overseas Energy Businesses along the Energy Value Chain] [Environment and Non-energy Businesses] Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. 23 Domestic Energy Businesses [ Gas Business ] Characteristics of the Japanese Gas Industry ■ Although more than 200 gas companies exist in Japan, the majority of domestic gas sales volume comprises the gas sales volumes of a few major gas suppliers. ■ The industry’s supply of LNG, the primary source of natural gas, is almost completely dependent upon imports. ■ In contrast to many other countries, Japan does not have any international gas pipelines or gas pipe- lines interlinked nationally. ■ The natural gas business is operated in an integrated manner, from import to transmission, storage, distribution and sales. Special Qualities of Natural Gas Compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas has a much smaller impact on the environment. In addition, natural gas is more abundant than oil and, unlike oil, natural gas reserves are not concentrated in specific geographical locations. In particular, because of its environmental advantages, demand for natural gas as a more environmentally friendly energy resource is expected to increase in the future, reflecting increasing public concerns and awareness about the environment.

  • Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, August 2005
    Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, August 2005 Trends in the Pharmaceutical Industry Japanese Economy Division Summary The nature of Japan’s pharmaceutical market is changing. The market for generic drugs in Japan has been expanding in recent years. Major Japanese pharmaceutical companies have undertaken mergers and restructuring, and an increasing number of foreign pharmaceutical companies have entered the Japanese market recently by establishing joint ventures with Japanese drug companies or granting distribution rights for their products to Japanese firms. 1. Market Overview The Japanese pharmaceutical industry, buoyed by a rise in income levels and growing awareness about hygiene after World War II, has grown gradually in line with Japanese industry. The introduction of universal health insurance coverage in April 1961 triggered a soaring increase in domestic demand for medicines. The brisk development of new medicines based on technologies introduced from the West has enabled the industry to respond more quickly to market needs. As a result, the Japanese pharmaceutical industry is now second only to that of the United States. In recent years, however, Fig. 1-1 Japanese Market Share of Generic Drugs (GE/total drugs) the financial situation (%) Value Quantity basis surrounding health insurance has (Drug price basis) become strained due to increasing 1999 4.7 10.8 medical costs shouldered by the 20024.8 12.2 2003 5.2 16.4 government, owing to the aging Source: Japan Generic Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association population, advances in medical Fig. 1-2 Market Shares of Generic Drugs in Main Countries technology and the development (2002) of new medical equipment.

    1 『Summary of Activities for Hydrogen Utilization in Chubu in 2030』 February 19th, 2021 Hydrogen Utilization Study Group in Chubu ■ Eleven private companies which are promoting hydrogen utilization (listed below) have established the Hydrogen Utilization Study Group in Chubu in March 2020 to expand hydrogen demand and to build a supply chain for stable hydrogen utilization in the Chubu region. ■ This Group takes its first effort in Japan to conduct cross-sectional studies in various industries such as energy (oil, gas and electricity), petrochemicals, automobiles, steel manufacturing and finance. <Participating Companies> Alphabetically, ♦Secretariat companies Air Liquide Japan G.K. /Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. /ENEOS Holdings, Inc. / Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd /Iwatani Corporation / Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation/ Nippon Steel Corporation /Sumitomo Corporation♦/Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation♦/ Toho Gas Co., Ltd. /Toyota Motor Corporation♦ Hydrogen Utilization Study Group in Chubu 【Summary】 2 <Background of Study> On December 26, 2017, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (hereinafter “METI”) published the Basic Hydrogen Strategy which included the following targets. ▽Realization of low-cost hydrogen usage under the Basic Strategy in order to move towards a hydrogen-based society: ■ As a basic approach, procurement of hydrogen at large scale, either by i) use of combination of inexpensive, unused energy of overseas markets with CCS, or ii) use of inexpensive, renewable energy to be used by electrolysis ■ Realization of annual procurement of 300 Kt/y of hydrogen, by developing commercial-scale supply chains by around 2030. Aim to realize hydrogen cost of 30 JPY/Nm3. ■ In the later phase, further endeavor to lower the hydrogen cost to 20 JPY/Nm3 to allow hydrogen to gain the same competitiveness as traditional energy sources after environmental cost adjustments are incorporated.

  • Japan's Gas and Electricity Market Reform: the Third Revolution
    JAPAN'S GAS AND ELECTRICITY MARKET REFORM: THE THIRD REVOLUTION Hiroshi Hashimoto Institute of Energy Economics, Japan - IEEJ Disclaimer: This paper is prepared for general informational purposes only and is not intended to influence any specific actions. Views expressed this paper are the author's ones but do not represent the organisation's ones. Japan's city gas and electric power industries are undergoing unprecedented but somewhat anticipated structural changes brought about by the recent regulatory restructuring. The process in fact dates back as far as 1995, when gas sales to the largest industrial customers were opened for competition. The ensuing regulatory measures have been considered and implemented extremely carefully so as not to jeopardise security of supply at affordable prices to end consumers in a country who does not have a lot of energy production within its territory. During the period the country's LNG market has successfully grown to be the largest and the most diversified in the world in terms of volumes, as well as numbers of both supply sources, importers and their receiving facilities, incorporating great flexibility in procurement with around 30% of the total volumes coming from short-term contracts and spot cargo purchases supplementing the main-stream long-term purchase contracts. In the latest stage of the industry restructuring, as the retail markets are opened for competition, city gas and electric power companies are entering into each other's home grounds by taking advantage of their own muscles and expertise, leading to the most unique, realistic and useful competition in the energy consuming market in the world.

NEDO selected the Joint Contractors in the public offeriing for "Development of Technologies for Realizing a Hydrogen Society/Regional Hydrogen Utilization Technology Development/Hydrogen Production and Utilization Potential Research" and the Study is scheduled to be conducted during FY2021 and FY2022. In order to promote the utilization of hydrogen in Japan, it is essential not only to produce hydrogen domestically, but also to import large volumes of hydrogen from cost competitive areas. To materialize large volume of imports, it is important to build supply chains from import terminals to demand locations, and to put priority on identifying challenges and find its solutions. Building on the previous study of potential hydrogen demand in Chubu region by the Hydrogen Utilization Study Group (“Study Group”) conducted in February 2021, this Study will focus on developing a large-scale hydrogen supply chain.
