Abstract

In this paper, the effective woody-biomass utilization system is proposed. In recent year, we are interested in energy security by the Great East Japan Earthquake. In addition, the possibility of renewable energy spread is increasing by the enforcement of FIT (Feed-in tariff). There are abundant wood resources in Japan, but woody biomass is not so popular. Therefore, in this study, we encored the evaluation with a focus on small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) business in which there is a possibility of commercialization. As a result, it was found that CHP business by gasification power generation utilizing the FIT was possible to return on investment in about 10 years. Further, as a result of evaluation by interviews and SWOT analysis of CHP precedents, it was found that only pellets CHP project could achieve.
