Almost 100% of energy supply in the transport sector in Japan depends on petroleum. Improvement of its demand and supply structure is an important issue desired to be tackled as soon as possible. In the 'New National Energy Strategy' a goal "The dependence on petroleum in the transport sector should be decreased to less than about 80% by 2030" has been set. In the Energy Technology Strategy Map 2007, 56 technologies were picked up, which would contribute the achievement of the goal of fuel diversification in the transport sector. The fuels or energies which are expected to make a large contribution include biomass derived fuels, synthetic fuels such as GTL, hydrogen, and electricity. Roadmaps for individual technologies related to the fuels and energies developed in the Energy Technology Strategy Map 2007 are introduced. A report 'Initiatives of the next generation vehicles and fuels' published in May 2007 is also mentioned in this paper. The report focuses on 5 fields of technology ; advanced batteries, hydrogen and fuel cells, clean diesel engines, bio-fuels, and information technologies ; and describes how to combine and advance them.
