毫无天然气资源的日本发展出了成熟的天然气市场。价格改革和严苛的环境政策是其背后最重要的推手。日本国内资源极度匮乏,能源进口依存度较高。日本既要维护能源和电力供给安全,又要保护生态环境不受破坏,因此,天然气发电是能够兼顾两方面的最佳能源。从天然气的发电历史来看,日本有许多先进经验值得学习。本文梳理了日本天然气发电政策,并提炼 Japan, which has no natural gas resources, has developed a mature natural gas market. Price reform and harsh environmental policies are the most important drivers behind them. Japan’s domestic resources are extremely scarce, and its dependence on energy imports is high. Japan not only maintains the energy and power supply security, but also protects the ecological environment from being destroyed. Therefore, natural gas power generation is the best energy source that can balance the two aspects. From the history of natural gas power generation, Japan has many advanced experiences worth learning. This paper combs the Japanese natural gas power generation policy, and refined
