Abstract

This study examines how and why high energy efficiency of Japanese industries was achieved, and why U.S.A. couldn’t as Japan, taking the steel industry as case examples, to find lessons for newly industrializing countries to construct low carbon industrial structure. The largest factor is the difference of modernization of facilities in 1960’s. In U.S.A., despite the market was growing, steel companies didn’t introduce new facilities and technologies, for fear of discounting battle. As another factor, in U.S.A., domestic natural gas was cheap even through oil crisis, therefore, byproduct gases recovery facilities are not pay in present technology level.
