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。

Household energy consumption in Japan before WWII was highly dependent on firewood and it had been over 80% until 1920's. Even in 1940, the forest energy including charcoal was three quarters. (this is the input-based data, so the importance of firewood has been somewhat exaggerated.) Increase in power use is remarkable in 1910-20's and the substitute coal penetrated in the 1930s. Energy consumption in urban areas steadily increased after the 1900s and diversification of energy sources also advanced. Further, the ratio of charcoal had been consumed as much as firewood compared to rural districts.
