Historically, the average for Japan from 1980 to 2023 is 6.28 thousand short tons. The minimum value, 1.06 thousand short tons, was reached in 1998 while the maximum of 67.24 thousand short tons was recorded in 1980.
Japan imported more than 210 million short tons (MMst) of coal in 2018, making it the world''s third-largest coal-importing country after only India and China.
In the case of Japan, the export of coal-fired power plants is deeply embedded in the economic infrastructure export subsystem, which has its roots in Japan''s post-war economic and foreign policy strategy.
Japan''s domestic coal production is minuscule, and the country imports the vast majority of its coal supplies. In 2023, Japan generated 30% of its electricity from coal and 32% from gas.
Japan continues to use steam coal to fuel one-third of its electricity generation and metallurgical coal for raw steel production. Japan imports nearly all (99%) of the coal it consumes. Australia is Japan’s primary coal supplier, supplying 128 MMst, or 61%, of Japan’s demand in 2018.

Coal’s share of electricity generation in Japan was higher in 2018 than it was before the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. In 2010, coal accounted for 25% of Japan’s electricity generation, and nuclear generation accounted for 29%.
In addition, coal deposits are located in diverse locations, so a stable supply can be expected. The price of thermal coal has been more stable than prices of other fuels. In Japan, the introduction of renewable energy is expanding. However, it is difficult to control the unstable nature of the generated power.
