Abstract

This study estimated the supply potential and availability of unused materials for woody biomass power generation in the Japanese cedar and cypress forests of Tochigi Prefecture. Then, the long-term possibility of supplying fuel woods to the existing power generation plant and the locations of the newly established power generation plants were examined. As a result, supply potentials of used and unused materials were estimated at 1,003,745 m³/year and 394,042 tons/year respectively, whereas those availabilities were estimated at 430,561 m³/year and 169,125 tons/year respectively. Although those availabilities were reduced to 102,835 m³/year and 40,110 tons/year, respectively, while considering profits of forest owners, this availability of unused materials could meet the demand of the existing power generation plant which consumed 35,000 tons/year. Furthermore, small-scale gasification power generation plants could be installed in two cities of Tochigi Prefecture using the surplus availability of unused materials with profits for forest owners.
