Japan’s Energy Consumption Trends
• Final energy consumption has increased about 1.3 times since 1973, whereas real GDP increased about 2.4 times in the same period.
• Industrial sector energy consumption has leveled off, but a significant increase in energy consumption has been observed in the consumer sector (commercial and residential subsectors).

Background and technology overview● Steam is depressurized to appropriate pressure levels by pressure reducing valves in order to be used in manufacturing processes such as heating, distilling, drying and sterilizing. However, pressure energy released in the depressurizing process is not utilized. Steam generators have been developed to generate electricity by effectively recycling the untapped pressure energy.
● Steam generators are equipped with screws that can rotate by a small amount of low-pressure steam. A maximum power output of 160 kW has been achieved from steam at about 10 atmospheres.
