Why and how did manufacturing industry of Japan succeed

in the energy conservation after the Oil Crisis?

Japan became the first class country in energy conservation technology.

ECCJECCJ

< Energy Conservation Philosophy > •Energy Conservation should be achieved at “on-site”.

• Energy Conservation is practical and steady activities.

Mutual effect, synergy effect

< Energy conservation is to minimize energy loss and to maximize energy efficiency at energy utilizing site. >

1. Regulation measures by Government（ Energy Conservation Law）　　　　　　　　 The Energy Conservation Law was enacted in 1979, amended and reinforced in

1983,1993,1998, 　　　　　　　　 2002, 2005, 2008 under Ministry of Economic, Trade and Industry (METI).

2. Support systems by Government （ Incentives of finance, tax, and subsidy ）

3. Energy conservation management in Industrial Sector 　　 Cost reduction <enforcement of international competitiveness> 　　　　　 Self-help efforts --- investment, ZD, QC activity, Kaizen by Sho-shudan, TQM, etc.

It is provided for Investment and Technology Development.

It is available for energy end user, who purchases a high energy efficiency facility and appliance, not for manufacturers of facility and appliances.

Because, Energy Conservation should be achieved at “on-site” where energy is actually consumed.

There are no subsidies for energy prices, which is depending on the market mechanism with taxation system.

(3) To submit mid-long term plan for energy conservation

Obligation of the designated factories under the Law (1) To observe Judgment Standards and Target Values in the Law

28

Energy Conservation Management in Factories (1)

1. Judgment Standards The Energy Conservation Law prepares the Judgment

Standards regarding the measures to be taken in order to achieve the goals towards the rationalization of fuel combustion, recovery and re-use of waste heat, prevention of electricity loss etc.

2. Standards and Target Values The Law also prepares the standards and target values as

guideline for general operating equipment such as boilers, industrial furnaces, motors, etc.

3. Management Manual 　 <to be made by Factories>

Designated factories shall draw Management Manual for plant operation, measurement, records, maintenance and inspection concerning rational use of energy.

The Manual shall comply with the Judgment Standards and the Standards Values.

29

4. In-house Data Base The operation standards are essential for producing product with good

quality and SEC (Specific Energy Consumption) in process is necessary for rational use of energy.

In-house Data Base shall be developed in order to set-up such standards and SEC.

5. Technical Directory Technical Directory is very useful to introduce appropriate equipment for

promotion of energy efficiency and conservation. ECCJ developed “Directory of Energy Conservation Technology in

Japan” in 1999.

6. Energy Conservation Audit Manual Energy Conservation Audit Manual is utilized for rationally implementing

to inspect operation condition, to find inefficient process and to solve the problem.

To draw an EC Audit Manual, In-house data base and Technical Directory are necessary.
