日本政府在周五的内阁会议上通过的2025年度能源白皮书中强调，迫切需要从根本上强化日本的能源供需结构，以应对未来的紧急情况。

白皮书指出，针对中东局势恶化，日本率先在全球决定释放石油储备，为国内外能源稳定供应作出了贡献。
The white paper noted that, in response to the deterioration in the Middle East situation, Japan was the first in the world to decide to release its petroleum reserves, contributing to stable energy supplies both domestically and internationally.
白皮书还指出，原油采购选择范围已缩小，受俄罗斯入侵乌克兰和亚洲产油国经济增长影响，近年来对中东石油的依赖度再度上升。
The government also said in the white paper that options for crude oil procurement had narrowed and that oil dependence on the Middle East had been rising again in recent years on the back of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and economic growth in Asian oil-producing countries.
白皮书称，石油产品供给也出现了失衡，日本的能源供需结构再次显露出脆弱性。
With supply imbalances also having emerged for petroleum products, Japan’s energy supply-and-demand structure was shown once again to be vulnerable, it said.
此外，白皮书列入了在确保化石燃料稳定供应的同时，加速利用核能和国内可再生能源，以从根本上强化日本能源供需结构的计划。
Elsewhere in the white paper, the government included a plan to strengthen efforts to secure stable fossil fuel supplies while accelerating the use of nuclear power and domestic renewable energy in order to fundamentally strengthen Japan’s energy supply-and-demand structure.
能源白皮书通常每年6月左右由内阁通过，但因中东局势恶化，今年的编制工作有所延迟。
The energy white paper is usually adopted by the Cabinet around June each year, but its compilation was delayed this year due to the deterioration in the Middle East situation.
