Japan ranks as the world’s largest liquified natural gas importer, second largest coal importer and third largest net importer of oil. In the years immediately after its nuclear fleet was shutdown, Japan’s imported fuel costs swelled, raising concerns that its environmental ambitions might be scaled back.
