Bamboo forests mostly uncontrolled are spread nationwide in Japan and expanding the area with 3,000ha per year. Bamboo is growing rapidly but difficult to use as biomass because it contains harmful substances like potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl) which cause a fatal damage to boilers and a generation of carcinogenic Dioxins. HITACHI has developed an innovative reforming process, i.e. pulverizing and eluting to eliminate the above harmful substances which enables bamboo can be used as a typical wood-based biomass. And moreover, the waste liquid used for elution can be reused as a fertilizer realizing an environmentally friendly recycling scheme.
