Abstract
This study aims for a sustainable development of local community and the value creation contributing to the global environmental conservation by developing a sustainable circulatory energy system. It is important for Kochi prefecture, where 84% of the land is forest, to have the point of view that considering forest resources not only for the lumber use but also as a valuable energy resource, and it could be a new possibility to break through the current situation for Kochi. Since Japanese cedar and cypress trees planted after the War have not been taken care of, it is possible that not only their property value does not increase but also they could cause the devastation of mountainous area. Utilization of wood-based energy managed within their growth level is an effective method to maintain neutralization of CO2 and has recently been recognized as an important circulatory energy. We have been taking economical, environmental, and social approaches to develop the circulatory wood-based energy system. In this report, we explain a survey on greenhouse farmers, development of the effective combustion appliance, assessment of the tree properness for fuel, evaluation of the process and calculation of the cost, and finally states direction of the future study.
