簡介目錄

2025年，日本天然氣市場規模達7,18億美元。 IMARC Group預測，到2034年，該市場規模將達到1,431億美元，2026年至2034年的複合年成長率（CAGR）為7.97%。目前，日本正致力於向天然氣轉型，以實現能源結構的脫碳，同時確保能源安全和經濟穩定。此外，鑑於全球情勢的不穩定性，日本正積極透過液化天然氣（LNG）進口來源多元化和擴大天然氣儲存能力來加強能源安全。同時，透過天然氣整合推動產業和技術創新，也有助於提升日本天然氣市場佔有率。

日本天然氣市場趨勢：

轉型為低碳能源以實現氣候目標

日本正朝著天然氣轉型，以實現能源結構的脫碳，確保能源安全和經濟穩定。福島核災後，日本政府積極致力於減少對核能和煤炭的依賴，大力推廣液化天然氣（LNG）作為更清潔的替代能源。這項轉型由長期政策策略驅動，例如第六個能源戰略計劃，該計劃設定了2050年實現碳中和的宏偉目標。公共產業和工業企業正在投資基礎設施維修，以支持高效低排放的LNG和聯合循環燃氣渦輪機的日益普及。此外，根據其永續性指南，日本正持續簽訂長期LNG供應契約，並探索碳中和的LNG解決方案。這些舉措，結合捕碳封存（CCS）技術的研究，確保天然氣繼續成為日本能源轉型計畫的基石，並為實現其環境目標奠定基礎。根據總部位於韓國的氣候變遷解決方案組織（SFOC）的報告，2013年至2024年間，日本公共金融機構在石油和天然氣相關項目上投資了930億美元（820億歐元）。其中，560億美元投資於國際液化天然氣（LNG）開發案。

在地緣政治變化的背景下加強能源安全

鑑於全球能源格局的動盪，日本正積極致力於液化天然氣（LNG）進口來源多元化和擴大天然氣儲存能力來加強能源安全。作為一個資源匱乏的國家，日本高度依賴LNG，尤其是在工業和發電廠的動力來源。在地緣政治緊張局勢加劇的背景下，日本正日益依賴穩定的盟友來確保可靠的LNG供應。根據InHEdge數據顯示，日本2025年4月的LNG進口量從前一周的2.575億立方米/日增加到2.7199億立方米/日。這一成長反映了自3月下旬以來持續的復甦趨勢，顯示日本正在進行有控制的調整。日本政府和私人企業也積極洽談長期合約，並投資海外上游天然氣資產，以確保穩定的天然氣供應。同時，日本正在建造新的浮體式儲存再氣化裝置（FSRU）並擴大現有設施，以建構國內緩衝體系，以應對供應衝擊。這些戰略措施重申了天然氣作為安全且靈活的能源資源的地位，並促進了日本天然氣市場的成長。

透過天然氣一體化促進產業和技術創新

日本正透過在先進製造業和清潔能源技術領域利用天然氣，穩步推動工業發展和技術進步。在電子、鋼鐵生產和化學製造等技術先進領域，由於天然氣具有熱能穩定、效率高、碳排放強度低於煤炭和石油等優勢，其應用日益廣泛。天然氣也是氫氣生產的原料，而氫氣生產是日本長期能源和交通戰略的核心。企業正在開發諸如氣轉氫等技術，該技術融合了蒸氣甲烷重整和碳捕獲，旨在建立更清潔的能源價值鏈。此外，高效能供電供熱的天然氣熱電汽電共生機組也正在工業園區和智慧城市中推廣應用。透過將天然氣置於更廣泛的創新體系的核心地位，日本不僅提升了產業競爭力，更將天然氣作為支撐現代低排放量經濟的核心要素。

The Japan natural gas market size reached USD 71.8 Billion in 2025 . Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 143.1 Billion by 2034 , exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.97% during 2026-2034 . At present, Japan is shifting towards natural gas as part of the decarbonization of its energy mix while ensuring energy security and economic stability. The country is also proactively improving its energy security by expanding the sources of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports and its gas storage capacity in light of unstable global energy trends. Moreover, the heightened focus on industrial and technological innovation through gas integration is expanding the Japan natural gas market share.

JAPAN NATURAL GAS MARKET TRENDS:

Shifting Towards Low-Carbon Energy to Achieve Climate Targets

Japan is shifting towards natural gas as part of the decarbonization of its energy mix, ensuring energy security and economic stability. The government is engaging actively in the reduction of dependence on nuclear power and coal in the wake of the Fukushima accident, thus ensuring liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a cleaner substitute. This shift is being facilitated by long-term policy strategies like the Sixth Strategic Energy Plan, which is laying out ambitious carbon neutrality goals by 2050. Utilities and industries are making investments in the refurbishment of infrastructure to support increased percentages of LNG and combined-cycle gas turbines, which are highly efficient and less emissions-intensive. In addition, Japan is persistently entering into long-term LNG supply agreements and researching carbon-neutral LNG solutions in accordance with sustainability directives. These are being integrated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) studies, so natural gas continues to be a pillar of Japan's transitional energy plan and moving forward toward environmental goals. Between 2013 and 2024, public financial institutions in Japan invested $93 billion (€82 billion) in oil and gas initiatives, according to a report by Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC), based in South Korea. International liquefied natural gas (LNG) development initiatives totaled $56 billion in this funding.

Energy Security Improvement During Geopolitical Volatility

Japan is proactively improving its energy security by expanding the sources of its LNG imports as well as its gas storage capacity in light of unstable global energy trends. As a resource-scarce nation, Japan relies enormously on energy imports, especially LNG, to power its industries and power plants. Against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions, Japan is shifting its dependence on stable allies for reliable LNG supplies. As per InHEdge, in April 2025, LNG imports in Japan increased to 271.99 million cubic meters per day (Mcm/d), rising from 257.5 Mcm/d the week before. The rise indicates a consistent recovery that started in late March and suggests a managed modification. The government of Japan and private sector firms are also negotiating long-term agreements and taking stakes in foreign upstream gas assets to secure stable procurement. At the same time, Japan is constructing new floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) and expanding existing facilities to create domestic buffers against supply shocks. Such strategic steps are reaffirming natural gas as a safe and flexible energy resource, thereby contributing to the Japan natural gas market growth.

Facilitating Industrial and Technological Innovation through Gas Integration

Japan is progressively backing its industrial development and technological advancement through the use of natural gas in sophisticated manufacturing techniques and clean energy technology. The technologically advanced sectors of the nation, such as electronics, steel production, and chemical manufacturing, are becoming dependent on natural gas due to its stable heat energy, efficiency, and lower carbon intensity than coal and oil. Natural gas is also being utilized as a feedstock in hydrogen production, a central pillar in the long-term energy and mobility strategies of Japan. Businesses are developing gas-to-hydrogen conversion technologies, for example, steam methane reforming integrated with carbon capture, to create cleaner value chains for energy. Industrial parks and smart cities are also being constructed with natural gas-fueled cogeneration units that supply electricity as well as heat effectively. By locating natural gas at the center of its more extensive innovation system, Japan is not only cultivating industrial competitiveness but also making sure that natural gas is at the center of supporting a modern, low-emission economy.
