Abstract

The Feed-in-Tariff Scheme for Renewable Energy (FIT) was launched in Japan in 2012 and the scheme has increased the energy utili ation of forest biomass. Although broad-leaved woody coppices have substantial potential, utilization of bulky branches has never been discussed in Japan, in spite of larger potential of branches of broad-leaved trees than those of coniferous trees. This paper outlines an experimental project for utilizing logging residues associated with the harvest of a broad-leaved forest for power generation in Japan.
