受地震影响，日本电力业遭受重创，引发的核危机将阻碍其今后的核能发展，以核能利用为主的能源政策很可能将被调整。短期内，日本石油需求预计将减少，2011年日本主要石油燃料需求将同比下降0．5％，至558万bbl／d；但用于发电的原油需求将大幅增加，同比增长64．7％。震后，日本采取了动用原油储备、提高炼厂石油加工能力、停止产品出口转销国内市场、增加石油产品进口等应急措施，预计2011年下半年炼油公司有望恢复产品出口。

The earthquake has badly weakened the Japanese power industry, triggering the nuclear crisis that affected the country＇s nuclear energy development. The energy policy focusing on utilization of nuclear energy is likely to be adjusted. Japan＇s oil demand is predicted to decline in a short period of time. The country＇s demand for main petroleum fuels will drop 0.3 percent to 3.38 million barrels per day in 2011, but the oil demand for power generation will significantly rise 64.7 percent as compared to the same period of the previous year. Following the earthquake, Japan has taken a series of emergency measures, such as using oil stockpiles, raising the capacity of refineries, putting the exported products to be sold at the domestic market and increasing imports of oil products. It is predicted that the oil refining companies are hopeful to resume exports of products in the second half of 2011.
