Two wood biomass projects (district heating/cooling, combined heat & power) have been realized in countryside of Japan as early exemplars. Key technical aspects and performance parameters are presented and discussed from user / business operator perspectives. Author argues that so many past failures, too many money-induced electric mono-generation projects with low energy utilization, and inability to promote heat use / CHP in Japan to date, is largely due to lack of educated professionals and/or their mindsets. Author urges academic leadership in building objective and common key knowledges in applying biomass energy in practice, through working in partnership with early technology adopters and analyzing leading examples overseas.
