What percentage of Japan's energy demand is heat demand?

About 70% of energy demand in Japan is heat demand for industrial boilers and furnaces.

Why is electrifying all heat demand in Japan not practical?

It is highly inefficient due to significant energy conversion losses and not practical in terms of cost.

The raw material for e-methane is CO2 reused from the air or industrial emissions.

The demonstration project is underway in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.
