戦前日本の家庭エネルギー消費は薪に大きく依存しており、１９２０年代まで薪の使用は８０％以上の比率を占めていた。木炭も含めた森林エネルギーは１９４０年においてさえ４分の３を占めていた（これは投入ベースでのデータであり、薪炭の重要性は多少誇張されている）。１９１０〜２０年代には電力利用の増加が顕著で、１９３０年代には代用炭が急増した。都市部のエネルギー消費は１９００年代以降順調に増加し、エネルギー源の多様化も進んだ。また郡部に比べると木炭の割合が高く薪と同程度に消費されていた。

Before the end of WW II, energy consumption by Japanese households was hugely dependent on wood, accounting for more than 80% of the entire energy consumption until the 1920's. Even in 1940, forestry energy including charcoal accounted for three-fourths of the energy use (this figure was based on supply, however, and the importance of charcoal was slightly exaggerated). From 1910 to 1930, the use of electricity increased rapidly. In the 1930s, substitute coal was more widely used. Energy consumption in cities increased gradually after the 1900's, and energy resources became more diversified. Although the use of charcoal and wood was the same in the cities, they consumed a higher percentage of charcoal than rural areas.
