Biomass Nippon StrategyBiomass Nippon Strategy

Biomass is carbon-neutral, is alternative to

fossil fuels, and contributes prevention of

global warming.

Reduces waste, and makes the transition of

recyclable society

Create new industries and jobs by utilizing

biomass for new energy and materials.

Expects such industries to be strategic leading

industries of Japan.

Biomass resources is affluent in Japan.

Promotion of utilization of biomass will bring

new opportunity to agricultural community.

Revised points

Promotion of utilization of unused biomass

such as rice straws and forestry residues is a

key for achievement.

Further promotion of utilizationof domestic biofuels

Based on Roadmap for significant boost ofthe production of domestic biofuels, reported

to the Prime Minister in Feb. 2007, biomass

policy is to be moved ahead.

Japanese government approved Biomass Nippon Strategy in a Cabinet meeting inDecember 2002 in order to go forward utilization of biomass comprehensively and in a

planned way. (7 relevant ministries)

Furthermore, Biomass Nippon Strategy was revised in March 2006 from a viewpoint of

acceleration of biomass towns and promotion of utilization of biofuels.

* 7 relevant ministries: Cabinet Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry

and Fisheries, Ministry of Economy and Industry, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism, Ministry of Environment

Japanese population has begun to decreasewhile the aged population are increasing. Food

consumption is expected to decrease.

increasing abandoned arable land anddesolation of satoyama (mountain villages) are

one of the biggest issues with regard to national

land and environment conservation

Japanese population has begun to decrease while the aged population areincreasing. Abandoned arable land is increasing because farmers decreases.

Thus, farmland needs to be utilized for not only food/feed production but also

Energy

Food and agriculture

Cope with rising crude oil price by making

alternative energy

Diversify energy supply sources (energysecurity)

Nurture agricultural industries

Boost and preserve potential of food supply by

being fully utilized abandoned arable land food

security

Increase the opportunity for employment and

revitalization of agricultural community by

creating new industries

Contribute achieving the Kyotoprotocol commitment by carbon

neutrality of biofuels

For Japan, a low self-sufficientcountry, R&D for utilizing cellulosic

materials which do not compete

against food is urgently needed.

Problems with regard to enlarging production of biofuelsProblems with regard to enlarging production of biofuels

Worldwide enlargement of bioethanol from saccharinity and starchy materials areone of the major causes of rising food prices; thus, cellulosic materials, which do not

compete against food, needs to be utilized.

LCA (life cycle assessment) needs to be established, which can evaluate the amountof CO2 emission and energy efficiency of whole processes from biomass energy cropproduction, transportation, to manufacture of the biofuels.

Biofuels are said to be carbon neutral;

however, it is pointed that resource

accompanied by CO2 emission

Objective

Fundamental principles

Promote policies collectively and effectivelyPromote policies for preventing the global warmingPromote policies for organizing circulation style communityContribute to industrial development and improvement of internationalcompetitiveness

Contribute to activating agriculture, forestry, fishing and villageMake the most of the biomass with its property

Diversify the source of energyPromote voluntary action of communityDevelop social tendency for the biomassSecure stable supply of foodGive attention to environmental protection

We establish this law for the purpose of driving forward the policy on promotion of

getting most of the biomass comprehensively and deliberately by establishingfundamental principles, revealing responsibility of the concerned persons and setting

fundamental matters of the policy.

economy, tax system and finance for enforcement of policies

about promotion of the biomass.

Measure


20/26



The conference for promoting usage of the biomass

1.The nation should set the conference for promoting usage of the

biomass to advance collectively and effectively and adjust

relationship between concerned administrative organs.

2. Concerned administrative organs should set the expert conference for promoting

usage of the biomass and learn what experts say for adjusting relationship written in

1.

The conferences should be set and adjust in secretariats of theMinistry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

Policy of prefectures and municipalities

The local public bodies will enforce the policies second to the nations policieswith considering local conditions(nature, finance, social environment)

comprehensively and deliberately.

Promoting synthetic policies will organize circulation style community and activate agriculture,

forestry, fishing and village 20
