Renewable energy sources made up only 18% of Japan’s total electricity supply in fiscal 2019.
According to the 2020 Energy White Paper published by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, major renewable contributors included hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal power sources. Japan’s rate for renewables excluding hydro was 10.3%.
By contrast, some major European countries show much higher rates of renewable energy, with 35.3% in Germany, 33.5% in Britain, 38.2% in Spain, and 39.7% in Italy. Even if Japan meets a target of a rate between 22% and 24% by the year 2030, there will still be a significant gap.
Elsewhere, the rate of renewable energy usage is 25.5% in China, 19.6% in France, and 16.8% in the United States. Canada, which depends on hydropower for 59.0% of its energy, leads with an overall renewable energy rate of 66.3%.
