    Amapa Florestal e Celulose S. A. (AMCEL) is carrying out the eucalyptus afforestation which the total area is approximately 300,000 hectares in the savanna zone of the southwestern Amapa state, northern Brazil. The features of outstanding AMCEL are the flat and collected landed property, the distance to port, abundant precipitation, and warm temperature. However, the growth rate of the clones which was introduced from the other companies in early stages of the eucalyptus plantation of AMCEL was very poor, because those clones could not adapt greatly to different environment from a original district.
    Therefore, AMCEL began the original selection breeding program and started development of the clone which was adapted for the environment of the landed property. The parent population of a breeding consists of two groups, one is the individuals which showed growth superior in a own plantation by seeds, and the other is the clone which brought by exchange from other afforestation companies. The clone which was excellent in tolerance for disease or growth was selected from these. And all were changed to a new clone from 2007, and growth improved greatly.
    AMCEL continues development of a selection breeding and forestry technology, and aims at improvement in an amount of growth further.

    Kishu-Factory has been promoting energy saving from the first. Furthermore, we are making a concerted effort to control emissions such as greenhouse gas and so on by improving saving energy and production efficiency after the division of Kyoto Protocol. However, we have not achieved the goal, reduction of greenhouse gas, due to increasing energy consumption of environmental equipment such as Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) plant, waste paper treatment plant and so on. It is reported by Measures for Controlling Global Warning Plan.
    Wind power generation, geothermal power generation and biomass gas turbine are remarkable technology for reduction green gas. The target date of 2010 is coming soon, however, there are many issues in running factory and profitability.
    Kishu-Factory pays attention to waste wood, bark and waste plastic that have been scrapped. We planed a sharp cut of greenhouse gas by placing biomass boiler and stopping existing oil boiler. This is a report of biomass boiler commercial operating since July 2008.
    Our biomass boiler has achieved 39% reduction in CO2 generated by fossil fuel in Kishu-Factory from previous year in spite of some troubles. From now on we will make greater efforts on reduction of CO2 generated by fossil fuel and on reduction in cost by making of ash soil and reducing of coal consumption.

    This report is a brief history about the creation of the fine paper from hardwood bleached sulfate pulp. Although the sulfate process (KP) was introduced into Japan in the middle of the 1920 s, the research and development efforts had been concentrated on sulfite process (SP) during the war. However, the members of Kyoto University found advantageous nature of KP over SP and announced it to the world through the journals and the patents. After the World WarII, in order to reestablish Yufutsu factory (Kokusaku Pulp Ind. Co., Ltd.) , Mr. Shigeo Mizuno decided to introduce a evolutional plan, in 1948, to produce the fine paper from the hardwood bleached pulp through the sulfate process. In those days, the hardwood was not used as the raw material for the fine paper, because the paper from the hardwood was thought to have insufficient strength for printing and wrapping. However, Mr. Bunzou Shimura, the partner of Mr. Mizuno, thought that, if prepared properly, the hardwood sulfate pulp would make the paper excellent in its properties. Although the authorities of GHQ insisted to introduce the semichemical process which was valued highly in the U. S. at that time, Mr. Mizuno and his partner persisted on introduction of the initial plan regarding the pulping process. As a result of painstaking efforts, industrial scale production employing hardwood bleached KP without any softwood pulp started for the first time in the world at Yufutsu mill in April 1952.

    We estimated the carbon content of softwood black liquor during kraft cooking to calculate its higher heating value and compared it with that of hardwood liquor. The bioenergy obtained from the black liquor of softwood chips consisting of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora) and Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) was 12.4 MJ⁄kg wood, which was approximately 3 MJ⁄kg wood higher than that of acacia (Acacia mearnsii) wood.
    For Japanese larch sapwood, acid sulfite cooking had a better cooking response than alkaline cooking. The resolution ratios of the acid sulfite pulps obtained by enzymatic treatment were higher than those of the alkaline pulps, and were independent of the kappa numbers. The glucose yield from an acid sulfite pulp with a kappa number of 64.3 was much better than those from alkaline pulps. When acid sulfite cooking was carried out for a longer time at a low pH, the cellulose in the pulp degraded into spent sulfite liquor (SSL) . Monosaccharide, mainly consisting of glucose (7.2 %on wood weight) , were obtained from the SSL. Therefore, it was shown that acid sulfite cooking was a more appropriate method for easily producing glucose and ethanol from both pulps and SSL than alkaline cooking.

    When a hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HBKP) was oxidized by the TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical) -mediated oxidation system under aqueous conditions, carboxylate groups were formed by the oxidation of the C 6 primary hydroxyl groups. Aqueous slurries of partly fibrillated fibers could be prepared by disintegration of the oxidized pulps in de-ionized water using a domestic blender. After the disintegration, the mean fiber width of the pulp was unchanged, but the mean fiber length was decreased with the increase of NaClO added in the oxidation. Handsheets were prepared from disintegrated fibers of the TEMPO-oxidized pulps using tap water. The handsheets prepared from the oxidized pulp with NaClO of 5 mmol⁄g-pulp had low thickness and high paper density compared with the reference sheets prepared from the original HBKP, and had quite low air permeability. The diameter size distribution of micro pores in the handsheets measured by using a capillary flow porositmeter corresponds to the result of density measurement of the handsheets. The sheet formation became more heterogeneous by accelerated flocculation in papermaking, when the TEMPO-oxidized and then disintegrated fibers were used with tap water. Scanning electron microscopic observation combined with an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer revealed that the handsheets prepared with tap water contained significant amounts of calcium by ion exchange from sodium carboxylate groups in the oxidized fibers during the papermaking process with tap water.
