4 Energy consumption structures trends in Japan Final energy consumption has increased about 1.4 times since 1973, whereas the Real GDP increased about 2.3 times in the same period. Energy consumption of industrial sector has leveled out, but the significant increase of energy consumption has been observed in the consumer sector (commercial & residential sector). (Petroleum equivalent in million tons) Real GDP times Transportation sector Consumer sector (JPY trillion) 23.7% 33.6% Transportation Final energy consumption times times Industrial sector 42.7% Consumer times Source: Comprehensive Energy Statistics and Annual Report on National Accounts. 0 Industrial times 3

5 Energy Conservation Efforts of Japan after Oil Crises Japan has improved energy efficiency by about 40% since 1970s with continued efforts for energy conservation by both public and private sectors. Energy Conservation Law was introduced in 1979, and Top Runner Program started in 1999 under this law. (Oil converted Mt /1 trillion yen) Primary energy use per real GDP of Japan about 40% improvement Energy Conservation Law Top Runner Program Source)Total Energy Statistics by ANRE/METI 4

6 Energy Conservation Law Energy Conservation Law covers the energy usage from the industry and commercial & residential to transportation. The law has 1) the framework which require the business operators annually to measure and report their energy usage to the government, 2) the energy efficiency standards for the buildings and houses, and 3) the Top Runner program which is applied to the household appliances and equipments to automobiles. Industrial sector Consumer sector Transportation sector Commercial sector Residential sector Regulatory measures Annual reports to the government by business operators with 1,500 or more kl/yr energy consumption 15,000 manufacturing plants & business operators Reduction efforts of 1% per year Energy efficiency standards for the buildings and houses (300m 2 or more) Top runner standards for the household appliances and equipments to automobiles, 23 items Account for about 70% of household energy consumption 5

8 Overview of The Top Runner Program Top Runner Program is the mandatory program, which encourages the competition among the companies by setting the energy efficiency targets based on the most energy efficient product on the market. It was first introduced in 1999 to strengthen the energy conservation measures after the Kyoto protocol was set. (Before then, Japan had implemented the energy efficiency standards based on the average efficient products.) Having started with 11 items including automobiles and air conditioners, it added 7 more items in 2002, 3 more items in 2005, and 2 more items in These 23 items were selected mainly from high energy consuming appliances and equipments based on the following requirements. (a) Appliances and equipments that are used in large quantity in Japan (b) Appliances and equipments that consume considerable amount of energy when in use (c) Appliances and equipments that has potential efficiency improvement in the future Top Runner efficiency standards for 3 to 10 years ahead in each product category are set based on the most energy efficient product on the market. 7

9 Regulated appliances & equipments The following 23 automobiles, appliances and equipments are subject to Top Runner Program. 1. Passenger cars 2. Freight vehicles 3. Air conditioning units/systems 4. Television sets 5. Video tape recorders 6. Lighting equipment 7. Copiers 8. Computers 9. Magnetic disc devices 10. Electric refrigerators 11. Electric freezers 12.

Estimated by the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ), based on the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy's FY2009 Residential and Commercial Sector Energy Data Survey (10,040 valid responses) and Supplementary Survey concerning Appliance Use(?) (1448 valid responses) *2. This survey is based on tabulation and analysis of each energy source, with values unified and converted on megajoule (MJ) basis. Electric power in secondary conversion value. 9

11 Basic concept on how to set the target efficiency standard All energy efficiency data in a certain category on the market are collected in cooperation with industries. The value of the most energy efficient product called Top Runner is identified in the collected data. Top Runner Program uses this value as a base value. Target year is determined by giving consideration to the manufactures product cycle, social demand and so on. Target standard value is determined by evaluating the potential technological development toward the target year. Efficient Energy efficiency Target standard value Evaluating the potential technological development toward the target year Top Poor Category 10

12 The case : vehicle fuel efficiency standard Target fuel efficiency of the middle class vehicle in FY2010 was raised to 16.0 km/l from 15.8 km/l top runner in FY1997 with evaluating the potential technical improvement. Selection of top runner vehicles in FY1997 Fuel efficiency (km/l) top runner vehicles (20.2 ) top runner vehicles (15.8 ) Fuel efficiency (km/l) target fuel efficiency value (16.0 ) top runner vehicles (15.8 ) Establishment of Fuel efficiency standard values in FY2010 Evaluation of fuel efficiency improvement factors Engine improvement Driving system improvement Reduction of driving resistance, etc. top runner vehicles (6.0 ) (578 to 702 ) ~ (1,016 to 1,265 ) ~ (2,266 to 2,515 ) Vehicle weight (kg) (1,016 to1,265 ) Vehicle weight (kg) (light weight vehicles) ex:suzuki ALTO (standard weight vehicles) ex:toyota COROLLA (heavy weight vehicles) ex:mitsubishi PAJERO (standard weight vehicles) ex:toyot COROLLA 11

23 6. Conclusion Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Department 22

24 Conclusion The energy efficiencies of the household appliances and equipments have been drastically improved since the Top Runner Program was first introduced in In order to pursue the further energy conservation, the coverage of the Top Runner Program will be reviewed and expanded to the new field, such as the equipments for commercial use and building materials. Top runner Program has the following characteristics; Realistic but high target standard which the manufactures can reach by using available technologies Target year with enough lead time for technological innovation and consideration for product development cycle Simple but informative labeling that promote the consumers understanding for better energy efficiency products Flexibility; The path to achieve the target until the target year depends on the corporate decision. Unlike MEPS, less efficient products under the target value could be sold if many more efficient products above the target value were sold. 23
