11 Energy and Water 11 Energy and Water 315 This chapter covers supply and demand of energy, electricity, gas and water. The section on supply and demand of energy contains statistics on the structure of energy consumption and the supply-and-demand table of energy. The section on electricity contains statistics on the generation capacity of electric utilities, including self-generating power plants and the supply and demand of electricity. The section on gas contains statistics on the supply capacity of general gas enterprises and the supply and demand of gas. The section on water contains statistics on water supplies, industrial water and agricultural water. For sewerage, see "17 Environment", for accidents related to electricity, see "29 Disasters and Accidents". Comprehensive Energy Statistics The Comprehensive Energy Statistics have been compiled annually by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy since fiscal 1953 to provide an overview of energy supply and demand in Japan, to contribute to the planning of energy and environmental policies and the measurement and evaluation of their effects, and to support a quantitative understanding of energy demand as well as assessment of the situation. The statistics quantify how energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas imported into Japan or produced and supplied in Japan were converted and in what form they were ultimately consumed by which sector and for which purpose. The report is compiled by combining data on energy production, conversion, and consumption from various primary energy-related statistics such as the Statistics on Natural Resources and Energy, the Statistics on Current Consumption of Oil, etc. the Statistics on Electric Power Surveys, and the Gas Utility Statistics. The Comprehensive Energy Statistics (Energy Balance Table) is a table that shows the processes by which Japan's energy is produced, imported, converted into secondary energy, such as electricity, and then finally consumed. There are two types of statistics. One is the real amounts of each unit of energy (Specific Unit Table), and the other is the converted amounts of heat generated per unit of measurement (Energy Unit Table), the latter of which is contained in this chapter. Based on the Measurement Act, all energy sources are expressed in a common unit (joules), and a "petajoule" is a unit of energy equal to one quadrillion (10 to the 15th power) joules. Multiplying the figure by 0.0258 gives one million kilolitres of crude oil equivalent. Statistical Survey of Energy Consumption in the METI Selected Industries (Fundamental Statistical Survey) This survey was conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry beginning in 1981 but has been conducted by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy since 2016. It is aimed at clarifying the actual consumption of oil and other energy by industries and obtaining basic data for polices related to oil consumption. The sample of the survey is about 1,300 establishments selected from industries producing pulp and paper products, chemical products, synthetic fibre, oil products, ceramic products, glassware, steel products, nonferrous metal products, or machinery, classified to the Major Group E -Manufacturing of the Japan Standard Industrial Classification. The survey is conducted every month on the monthly consumption of oil and other energy. Current Survey of Petroleum Product Supply and Demand (Fundamental Statistical Survey) With the aim to clarify the actual status of the supply and demand of petroleum products, this survey has been carried out every month since 1952 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and since 2002 by the Agency for Natural Resources and
