| Tiivistelmä: | Japan has been a model of energy diversification for national security reasons. However, because of rising concern about the degradation of the environment, these policies may have to be re-evaluated. In the paper the fuel supply options open to Japan in the year 2000 are reviewed. Since there is no technological method of eliminating CO2 emissions from fossil fuel at present, these can be reduced by replacing a part of thermal power generation with other energy sources or enhancing the thermal efficiency of power plants. The paper examines the power generation mix as a strategy for reducing missions from thermal power power plants and indicates the effect of thermal efficiency on CO2 emissions. |
