Background (1)
Japan, with little domestic energy resources, depends 96% of her energy demands on imported fossil fuels.
We thus need to promote renewable energy in order to cope with global warming, and to ensure energy security.
In 2002, the Japanese Government launched the “Biomass-Nippon Comprehensive Strategy” and accordingly promoted biomass utilization ever since.
In 2006, the above strategy was revised to accelerate the promotion of biofuel.

Background (2) Japan’s food self-sufficiency is only 40%.
As large-scale cultivation of energy crops in Japan could easily reduce our food security, we need to focus more on employing underutilized agricultural and forestry residues and waste materials.
Biodiesel production from waste cook oil.
Bioethanol production from rice straw, rice husk, and left-over logs in forest.
Use of energy crops produced by employing fallow farmlands. (Fallow lands are projected to increase due to decrease of farming population.)
etc.

Policies on biofuel by MAFF
1. Promotion of standard technologies:
The “Biomass-town” projects
Full-scale demonstrative projects on bioethanol production
2. Development of innovative technologies:

A new research project on
biofuelNARO launched a national research project on biofuel from 2007 to 2012, that was commissioned by the MAFF of Japan.
Main targets of the project:
low-cost production of energy crops such as sugarcane and sugar beat
an efficient collection & transportation system for underutilized biomass such as rice husk
efficient conversion processes into biofuel
cascade (multiple) uses of biomass (byproducts).

Gasification, heat/power co-generation & methanol production from ligno-cellulosic materials
This process can convert whole ligno-
cellulosic biomass, such as wood and rice
straw, into clean, high-calorie fuel gas (H2,
CO, methane), which is used to produce
electricity, heat and methanol.

Power conversion efficiency
• Demonstrated at bench scale: 50 kWh/50 dry-kg biomass
• Full scale (estimated): 1000 kWh/1 dry-ton biomass (equivalent to electricity demands of 100 household for 1 day)
• If waste heat is recovered and utilized, comprehensive heat efficiency is estimated to be 70%.
• This is a collaborative research conducted by Nagasaki Inst. of Applied Science (energy & methanol production) and NARO

Problems with Conventional Alkaline
Catalyzed Alcoholysis Reaction Process
Alkaline catalysts need to be removed from
products after reaction.
→ High Cost
Free fatty acids contained in raw material have
to be removed from waste edible oil prior to
reaction in order to maintain activity of the
alkaline catalysts.
→ Low Yield
![Page 13: Resarch & Development of Bio-fuel in Japanjaef.la.coocan.jp/ifaj/eng/document/tua/slide/5-1.pdf · Resarch & Development of Bio-fuel in Japan Dr. KATAYAMA Shusaku National Agriculture](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052719/5f0705557e708231d41ae6c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Advantages of Non-catalytic Alcoholysis
Reaction for Production of Biodiesel Fuel
• Purification process to remove catalyst after reaction is not required.
→ Configuration of the total system can be simplified and the by-product (glycerol) can be directly utilized in other industry. Then, total cost for production of BDF will be reduced.
• Not only triglycerides but also free fatty acid might be converted into methyl ester.
→ Neutralization process for removal of free fatty acid is not required prior to the reaction process. Then, yield of the total system will be improved.

Advantages of Superheated Methanol Vapor Bubble
Method for Production of Biodiesel Fuel
• Reaction can be conducted under atmospheric pressure condition.
• Therefore, both initial cost and running cost required for the process can be reduced.
→ High safety, Low cost

· The STING-process was applied
for BDF production from animal fat.
· Small size FAME was produced
by the STING-process.
· Kinetic viscosity could be lower than
that of conventional BDF.
· Solidification temperature became -2°C.
· Production cost was still high.
Enlargements of the plant are necessary.
