Import volume of coal from Australia to Japan FY 2000-2020

In the fiscal year 2020, Japan imported approximately 104.2 million metric tons of coal from Australia. Despite a slight decrease in amount compared to the previous fiscal years, Australia remained the largest supplier of coal to Japan.Since Japan lacks domestic reserves of fossil fuels, it is heavily dependent on imports. Therefore, the Japanese government currently aims to replace fossil fuels with nuclear and renewable energy sources.

在2020财年，日本自澳大利亚进口了约1.042亿吨煤炭。尽管与上一年财年相比，进口数量有所下降，但澳大利亚仍稳居向日本供应煤炭的最大供应商之位。鉴于日本国内缺乏化石燃料储备，该国对进口依赖程度极高。因此，日本政府目前正致力于以核能和可再生能源替代化石燃料。
