Abstract

Japan surpassed its 2030 oil and gas self-sufficiency target by reaching 40.6% in 2020, leading to an updated target of over 50%. As the only G7 country to provide public support for overseas resource projects, Japan established the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC). This body supports overseas resource projects with financial support such as loans, equity, and guarantees and provides technical assistance and information. Despite its own resource scarcity, Japan's approach mirrors Korea's in providing unwavering support through public agencies. While the Japanese government may adjust support as needed, the core structure of the support system remains unchanged. This consistency provides a reliable backdrop for companies to engage in projects that align with national self-sufficiency goals.

일본 정부는 2030년 석유·천연가스 자주개발률 목표 40%를 2020년에 초과(40.6%) 달성하면서, 그 목표를 50% 이상으로 상향하였다. G7 중에서 유일하게 해외자원개발사업에 대한 공적지원을 실시하는 일본은 Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC)을 통하여 대부분의 지원을 하고 있다. 해외자원개발사업의 성공을 위해서 투자 재원, 기술우위, 정보가 필요하므로 금융지원으로는 융자, 출자, 채무보증을, 비금융지원으로는 기술지원과 정보수집․조사를 하고 있다. 일본은 우리나라와 마찬가지로 자국내 부존자원이 거의 없지만, 공적지원기관을 중심으로 해외자원개발사업에 대한 지원을 지속적이고 안정적으로 실시하고 있다. 또한 일본은 시대의 변화에 따라 중점지원대상이나 사업형태를 바꾸기는 하지만, 제도의 기본 틀은 계속 유지하고 있다. 이는 기업들에게 안정적이고 일관된 지원을 받으면서 사업을 할 수 있는 여건을 조성하여 줌으로써 자주개발률 목표 달성에 기여하도록 하고 있다.
