Abstract
Wood biomass supply was estimated with consideration of transport cost. First, the transport cost was obtained from several timber industries and then averaged for using this estimation. Second, wood biomass was spatially estimated using forest and timber statistics and digital data including road network and forest resource maps. Third, the maximum cost was set to \7,000/t-50%.o.b. in order to calculate wood biomass supply with efficient cost. Our analysis suggests that the area having high potential would be integrated to the 7 regions using current circumstance of transport cost.
