Well, a year and a half ago maybe, we issued a future energy outlook for 2030. According to that, the biggest share is liquefied natural gas at 27%. The second is coal at 26%. We depend on nuclear power 21% to 22%, maybe, and on new and renewable energy 20% to 23%.
At this stage, seeing as only four nuclear reactors have restarted, we still depend on liquefied natural gas. At this moment we import liquefied natural gas from Qatar, where I had been an ambassador, from Australia, Malaysia, and other countries.
The important thing is that Japan is now developing liquefied natural gas in five countries other than Canada, that is, the United States, Russia, Australia, Malaysia, and Mozambique. The import from the United States will start this year through the Panama Canal.
I had a chance to send a public comment concerning the Japanese, Chinese, and Malaysian liquefied natural gas projects. The timing is crucial in the liquefied natural gas project because it involved a huge amount of investment. That means since many companies prefer a long-term contract, we are really trying to find a stable supply of energy. Once those demands are filled by long-term contracts, the next vacancy may not arrive quite easily. In that sense, timing is crucial, as I mentioned on other occasions.
