Wind Power Generation Systems • Total generation capacity of domestic makers' systems in Japan increased sharply in 2004. • Most domestically supplied turbines were produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Japan. MHI was #8 in turbines worldwide in 2004.* • Fuji Heavy Industries developing new 2MW system to obtain share in Japanese market. Features: • Downwind rotor for typhoon conditions • Blade and Nacelle transportable in pieces • Japanese makers increasingly capable of manufacturing 2MW turbines. *http://www.earthscan.co.uk/news/printablearticle.asp?sp=636487402740206174292&v=3&UAN=431

BIOMASS:Oil Industry Efforts for Bioethanol Introduction • Japanese Government announced (January 18, 2006) implementation of “Utilization • of Biomass Fuels for Transportation,” as part of its “Kyoto Protocol Target Achievement • Plan,” under the following policies/conditions: • Members of the Petroleum Association of Japan shall be actively engaged in blending bioethanol fuel for transportation. Target blend 20% of gasoline (bioethanol ETBE) by 2010. (Approximately 360,000KL/year = approximately 210,000KL/year crude oil equivalent) • Bioethanol introduction shall not: a) negatively impact air quality, or b) compromise safety or automobile performance. • Risk assessments necessary for mixing ETBE with gasoline must be conducted prior to bioethanol introduction, since ETBE is designated as one of the “TYPE Ⅱ Monitoring Chemical Substances” of “the Chemical Substances Control Law.”
BIOMASS: ETBE Introduction Scale(1/3)- For a stable and long-term supply • Ethanol, a raw material for ETBE, is limited in supply • Brazil is the only major ethanol exporter • ↓ • Other countries such as U.S. and China can only meet domestic consumption • Scant ethanol production in Japan Ethanol Producing Countries (2004/2005)
ETBE Introduction Scale(2/3) - For a stable and long-term supply • 2) ETBE is limited in supply • a) Japan’s maximum domestic production capacity if 4 existing, idled MTBE* plants were converted to ETBE production: 400,000 kl/year • MTBE was produced until 2001 • Maximum domestic isobutene production: approx. 630,000 tons/year b) Potential overseas supplies of ETBE: • Europe: domestic production and consumption of ETBE, but no overcapacity • U.S.: MTBE plants exist that could possibly be converted to ETBE production? • *MTBE: methyl tertiary-butyl ether,a fuel synthesized from methanol (from natural gas) and isobutene Enables maximum annual production of ETBE of 1,500,000kl
ETBE Introduction Scale(3/3)- Issue: Economic efficiencyrelative to conventional fuels • Ethanol vs. gasoline • Ethanol* is 20 to 30 yen/l more expensive than gasoline** when calculated by calorific value equivalence (based on recent import price) (*Ethanol price: import price (excluding custom duty) of ethanol for industrial and beverage use calculated on an equivalent calorific comparison versus gasoline (60%)) (**Gasoline price: domestic market price excluding taxes (gasoline tax, oil/coal tax and crude oil tax) • Issues: agricultural produce unstable; transportation costs
