Abstract

This study examines changes in the domestic coal market, as well as in environmental loads, caused by the combustion of domestic coal during 'the energy revolution' in post-war Japan, by focusing on changes in three kinds of coal quality parameters: calorific value, ash content and sulphur content. The Japanese domestic coal market during 'the energy revolution' consisted of two submarkets: the inferior-quality coal market near coalfields, which was characterized by a lower price than that of heavy oil, and the high-quality coal market in industrial districts, which was characterized by relatively low environmental loads than those of heavy oil. However, after 1968, the consumers substituted domestic coal with low-sulphur fossil fuels to reduce their SOx emissions. The Japanese domestic coal market underwent a decline because of 'the energy revolution' and changes in coal quality relevant to environmental loads.
