  • Press Release People Power Again! Following Soga, Proponents
    Press Release People Power Again! Following Soga, proponents canceled their coal-fired power plant project in Sodegaura. The JERA’s project in Yokosuka is the only coal-fired power plant project left in the Tokyo Bay area. February 1, 2019 FoE Japan On January 31, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., Kyushu Electric Power Co. Inc and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. announced that they had canceled their coal-fired power plant project, namely “Chiba Sodegaura Coal-fired Power Plant I and II Construction Project” (Plant I: 1,000 MW, operation from 2025, Plant II: 1,000 MW, operation from 2026). They are now considering of liquid natural gas (LNG) as the alternative source for power generationi . They explained the reason of cancellation on their website as that “the project cannot yield initially expected investment returns.” Friends of the Earth Japan joins the collaborating local groups and environmental groups in welcoming this decision. Due to possible health and environmental impacts that the project might cause, civil society had been protesting against the project with a number of activities, such as distributing flyers at stations, organizing study sessions for the public as well as submitting a written statement to the mayor of Chiba Prefecture and the Ministry of the Environment since 2016. Furthermore, residents in the Tokyo Bay area formed an anti-coal power group in 2017 to take collective actions, including demonstrations in front of Tokyo Gas and Idemitsu Kosan, a campaign to send post cards to the president of Tokyo Gas requesting to cancel the project, and a demonstration during the general shareholders meeting in front of the Tokyo Gas headquarters.

  • 1 CLIMATE CHANGE and COASTAL DEFENCES in TOKYO BAY Sayaka Hoshino1, Miguel Esteban2, Takahito Mikami3, Tomoyuki Takabatake4, To
    CLIMATE CHANGE AND COASTAL DEFENCES IN TOKYO BAY Sayaka Hoshino1, Miguel Esteban2, Takahito Mikami3, Tomoyuki Takabatake4, Tomoya Shibayama 5 Sea level rise and an increase in typhoon intensity are two of the expected consequences from future climate change. In the present work a methodology to change the intensity of tropical cyclones in Japan was developed, which can be used to assess the inundation risk to different areas of the country. An example of how this would affect one of the worst typhoons to hit the Tokyo Bay area in the 20th century was thus developed, highlighting the considerable dangers associated with this event, and how current sea defences could be under danger of failing by the end of the 21st century. Keywords: storm surge; sustainability of coastal defences; sea level rise, typhoons INTRODUCTION Every year, Japan is attacked by a number of tropical cyclones, some of which can be very strong and cause widespread damage. Apart from wind damage, these events also generate powerful waves and storm surges, which can inundate coastal areas and lead to the destruction of property and the loss of lives. Global warming as a consequence of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could lead to an increase in the intensity in tropical cyclones in the future, which would compound the problems already presented by sea level rise (also expected to accelerate in the course of the 21st century). Tropical cyclones need high surface sea temperatures to form (typically at temperatures of over 26°C), and use the heat from the evaporation of sea water to maintain or increase their strength.

  • Building a More Powerful Supply Infrastructure and Strengthening Procurement
    At the Frontier of Change Building a More Powerful Supply Infrastructure and Strengthening Procurement Our gas operations are supported by Japan’s largest gas supply infrastructure. Terminal and pipeline con- struction over many years has given us the capability of meeting increases in demand over the next decade. To clinch demand in areas in the Kanto region where demand is expected to increase, we will construct two new pipelines: the Tochigi Pipeline and the Minamiashigara Pipeline. Moreover, the ownership of LNG car- riers will facilitate the efficient transportation of feedstock. All our actions are focused on the achievement of the dual goals of ensuring a stable supply and efficient management. Backed by a Powerful Production and Supply Base Tokyo Gas’ 48,000km pipeline system supplies a customer base of 8.9 million. Our service area, metropolitan Tokyo and neighboring prefectures, has the highest gas demand in Japan. Tokyo Gas has made strategic investments to bolster its supply capability to cater to this demand. In 1998, the Ohgishima LNG Terminal came on stream, and this was followed in 1999 with the completion of the Keihin Transmission Pipeline and the Yokohama Transmission Pipeline. Today, Tokyo Gas has in place a 300km-long supply loop encircling the greater Tokyo area that is connected by high-pressure pipes to our three LNG terminals: Negishi, Sodegaura and Ohgishima. This loop-system has bolstered our ability to provide customers with a reliable supply of gas. Our pipeline infrastructure will also underpin our expansion beyond our traditional service area, as deregulation opens 12 windows of opportunity. We intend to take maximum advantage of our strengths as a leading presence in the industry to expand our customer base.

  • Remarkable Liquefaction-Induced Damages Along Tokyo Bay During During the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake in Japan
    Remarkable liquefaction-induced damages along Tokyo Bay during during the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake in Japan. Susumu Yasuda Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Keisuke Ishikawa Assistant, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Shungo Hagiya Graduate Student, Tokyo Denki University, Japan SUMMARY The 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake caused severe liquefaction in the reclaimed lands in the Tokyo Bay area. The liquefied area was very wide as about 41 km2 though epicentral distance was about 380km. About 27,000 timber houses, a lot of buried sewage pipes and roads were damaged due to liquefaction. In Tokyo Bay area, the very long duration of the main shock and an aftershock 29 minutes later probably induced the severe liquefaction. Sidewalks and alleys buckled at several sites. Sewage pipes meandered or were broken, their joints were extruded from the ground, and many manholes were sheared horizontally. These remarkable damage might have occurred due to a kind of sloshing of liquefied ground. Keywords: liquefaction, reclaimed land, very long shaking, sewage facilities, road 1. INTRODUCTION The 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake, with a magnitude of Mw=9.0 occurred in the Pacific Ocean about 130 km off the northeast coast of Japan’s main island on March 11, 2011. Liquefaction occurred in a wide area of reclaimed land along Tokyo Bay, though the epicentral distance was very large, about 380 to 400 km. Much land has been reclaimed in the Tokyo Bay area since the seventeenth century. Liquefaction has been induced during past earthquakes, such as 1923 Kanto Earthquake and 1987 Chibaken-toho-oki Earthquake.

The city is blessed with the Kuroshio Current which brings warm mild winters and some areas are frost-free throughout the year. Located only 90mins from Tokyo and 1hr from the Haneda Airport, Minamiboso City still has Japanese traditional rural scenery. Many domestic visitors come to our lovely beaches in the summer and come to pick flowers in our lush flower fields in the early spring. Although the numbers of international tourists coming to Japan is increasing, those who come to Minamiboso city are still low. From now on, we are promoting several initiatives in order to build up our city’s brand and provide excellent hospitality to our guests.
