Japan heavily relies on oil imports from countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Russia, and Kuwait. These countries account for over 70% of Japan's total crude oil imports. Japan has a significant number of refineries that process crude oil into various petroleum products. One of the major challenges faced by Japan in sourcing oil is its heavy reliance on a few countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The country aims to achieve a renewable energy mix of up to 24% by 2030 to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
