Abstract

In this study, we evaluate the economic potential of biomass power generation using rural sewage sludge in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan, using a cost-benefit analysis. We show that the return on investment for facilities of biomass power generation using rural sewage sludge was lower than the total investment cost.
