The energy use of woody biomass in Japan has been mainly covered by large scale power generations using FIT for the reason of emphasis on profitability. However, at the present time especially small-scale heat supply systems using woody fuel that can be utilized in local agriculture and public facilities are attracting attention. Regarding woody fuel, it is important to make use of domestic local woody biomass products and wastes from them. In this study, we developed a material-thermal equilibrium simulation model for a woody biomass heat supply plant that utilizes waste timber generated within the local area and the heat is supplied to local projects. We also used the simulation model to calculate the heat energy efficiencies for various operating conditions for the plant.
