(Reference) Change of fuel price
○ In comparison to crude oil and LNG, the change of the coal price has been stable.
○ As of April 2013, the crude oil price (7.36yen/1000kcal) is about 4.1 times higher and the LNG price (6.32/1000kcal) is
about 3.5 times higher than the coal price (1.81 yen/1000kcal).

* For FY2013, the influence to cost is calculated by correcting the
exchange rate used for the estimation in FY2012 to the current value
of 100 yen/dollar and assuming that the operation status of the
nuclear power plants would not change in FY2013 from FY2012.
○ No operating nuclear power plants →About 30% loss of power supply, Tight balance between demand and supply
○ Due to stop of nuclear power plants, the fuel cost for thermal power generation is expected to increase by about 3.8
trillion yen in FY2013, which is about 20% of electricity prices
○ The cost would increase more if the oil price increases by a tense situation in Hormuz.

Change of thermal power generation
○ In 2030, about 30% of coal thermal power plants, about 50% of LNG thermal power plants, and about 90% of oil
thermal power plants will be 40 years old since the start of the operation.
○ As mentioned before, 3 coal thermal plants of 2.2 million kW and 30 LNG thermal power plants of 15.9 million power
plants will be built. There is no plan for building a coal thermal power plant.
○ The plants need to be renewed according to their ages for higher efficiency and reliability.
○ In “Action principle for coal” adopted in the 3rd IEA Ministerial Council Communiqué in 1979 , new construction or
replacement of an oil thermal base-load power plant is prohibited.

Role of coal in world’s energy resources
○ Coal occupies about 25% of the energy demand in the world. The demand for coal is expected to increase by about 1.2 times by 2035.
Coal occupies more than 40% of generated power in the world. The amount is expected to increase by 1.4 times by 2035.
○ Competition for acquiring coal resources has become severe in the world due to rapid expansion of the coal demand in developing
countries such as China and India.

○ The long-term contract price of coal had not changed much but in recent years it has been increasing because of the increase of the coal
demand in the world, in particular in Asia, and because of the shortage of the coal export infrastructure capacity in Australia.
○ The price has been hovering at a high level in recent years due to natural disasters in the coal countries and due to the rapid increase of
the coal demand in China and India. However in very recent years, the price starts decreasing because of the worldwide economic
recession and the excessive energy supply due to increased production of shale gas.

○ Coal is important as a raw material for iron making (i.e. raw coal) for steel industry. Coal is also necessary as fuel material (i.e. general coal)
for coal thermal power generation which occupies 25% of entire energy supply. Stable supply of coal is therefore critical.
○ (1) Increase of coal demand in new developing countries such as China and India, (2) Coal supply instability occurred due to natural
disasters in Australia, etc., from which 60% of coal is imported. It is therefore necessary to secure stable suppliers other than Australia or
Indonesia. Mozambique is currently the most important supplier country of raw coal. It is essential to support the development of large-scale
railways and port infrastructure that are necessary for coal transport.

Direction of future activities for coal resource securing strategy
14
Enhancement of
importance
- General coal for power
generation and raw coal for
iron making, etc.
Enhancement of
supply risks
- Increase of demand and
import in China and India
- Oligopoly by resource major
companies
- ”Ship congestion problem”
- Increase of price and cost of
acquiring interest
Diversification of supply countries
○ New supply from Mozambique , Mongolia, Russia, etc. and re-examination of supply
from US and Canada
Link to infrastructure development of railways and ports
○ Mozambique, Mongolia, etc. require us to join the infrastructure development of
transportation such as railways and ports, electric power supply facilities, industrial
water supply, waste water facilities, and shipping facilities.
Link to export of a clean coal technology for coal thermal power
generation
○ With the countries that have a coal resource as well as consume a large amount of coal,
such as Australia, Indonesia, India, etc., collaborative relationship will be established for
package-type infrastructure export of the technologies of making the coal thermal power
generation more efficient and cleaner to secure stable supply and relax the global
supply-demand balance.
Development of support system
○ Development support for coal resource as well as metallic mineral by JOGMEC
Coal will continue to be an important resource from a viewpoint of stable energy supply and industrial competitiveness, but various risks of
the supply are emerging.
For future supply of coal, not only the diversification of the coal supply countries and the development of a support system but also the
collaboration with infrastructure development of railways and ports and with the export of a clean coal technology of coal thermal power
generation are becoming important.

and storage (CCS) technologies that could drastically reduce
green house gas emission to prevent the global warming.
○ The project tests a technology of underground storage of
CO2 that is separated and collected from off gas at a refinery.
About 0.1 million tons of CO2 will be stored underground (at
about 1,000m depth) in a year. Also a test of basic
technologies such as simulation technology of predicting
long-term CO2 behavior and CO2 monitoring technology will
be performed.
○ In February 2012, offshore Tomakomai was selected as test
site according to geological survey results. At present, EPC
(engineering, procurement, construction) is being conducted
to develop CO2 separation and collection facilities,
pressurized injection facilities, pressurized injection well, etc.

○ Power generation cost with CCS
- In the direct storage case (1), total power generation cost increases by 45% (approximately the same as in NETL cases1) which increases
the cost by 40%). In the transport cases (2)-(6) the total cost increases by 80% (larger than in NETL cases which increases the cost by
45%).
- Compared to the case without CO2 separation and collection, the power generation cost with CO2 separation and collection increases by
25% due to the reduction of the sending-end output.
- Transport (incl. transport of liquefied and pressurized CO2) and storage occupy 10% of the power generation cost in the direct storage
case and 30% in the transport cases. (The construction cost of CO2 tank for shipment, base for receiving shipped CO2, and dedicated ship
is large.)
○ CO2 treatment cost breakdown
- Cost of the transportation (incl. liquefaction and pressurization) and storage is relatively large, occupying 50-70% of the CO2 treatment
cost.

○ Coal thermal power generation efficiency in Japan is now in the world’s highest level and kept high for a long period
of time after starting the power generation. This is due to Japan’s high efficiency technology (supercritical pressure,
ultra supercritical pressure) and know-how of the operation and control.
○ CO2 reduction is expected to be about 450 million tons (in trial calculation) if Japan’s latest coal thermal power
generation efficiency is applied to coal thermal power plants planned in India, Indonesia, and Vietnam with which
Japan is currently negotiating for a bilateral offset credit system.
○ Overseas expansion of Japan’s high-efficiency coal thermal power generation is promoted by the technology transfer
of the high-efficiency coal thermal power generation technologies or by the system export of the technologies and
the coal power generation operation control technology (O&M), while the technology competitiveness is maintained
