| Research Abstract |
In this project, system planning and analysis towards sustainable utilization and of woody biomass in Japan has been undertaken. First of all, to design the system based on successful example on management of forest and utilization of woody biomass in European countries, a model of the ideal system in Japan has been drawn. As the result, the combination of utilization of woody biomass for materials and for energy should be inevitable to increase profitability on business. For this purpose, an appropriate design of the sawmill system for processing of wood biomass should also be very important in proportion with the potential size of woody biomass as the amount of feedstock. In addition, as the result of system analysis using Gabi6 software, total energy required for obtaining the final timber products from the round-wood can be supplied from the use of woody residues during processing or wood biomass.
