The inventory and usable amount of biomass has been examined from various perspectives. Based on the statistical data acquired, the estimated "total amount of domestic inventory" was obtained. However, other information such as the regional characteristic of biomass, extensively available over the landscape, has not yet been placed into an organized form. In order to promote the use of biomass energy as a countermeasure against global warming, and to further promote the merits of a recycling society, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), has developed a series of maps and data detailing various biomass reserves. To increase the awareness of biomass as an energy source, NEDO has made this data available through the Internet.
