Abstract
In preparation for the year 2050, research in the biomass field is expected to contribute to the decarbonization of the region. However, it is difficult to build sustainability of biomass utilization projects based only on the value of its carbon reduction effect and economic efficiency. In our previous study, we reported on an actual case of consensus building among project members using P2M, based on the program of a group of research projects to review biomass utilization centered on agriculture (especially rice cultivation).
The utilization of biomass is a complex social process that involves a variety of processes, including cultivation and production, food and material use, energy use, and disposal. Many technologies have been developed for each process, but management across the processes is essential for their implementation. Some of the processes are not necessarily economically viable, and consideration of environmental impact and biodiversity is also necessary.
In this report, we examine the complex value systems that are interconnected in such research in the biomass field, and attempt to design a value indicator management system.
