“…In Japan, wood fuels used for electricity generation are generally made from residuals from the sawmill process, the manufacture of wood products and construction, and harvesting/thinning residuals in the forest. The available bioelectricity potential from combustion was evaluated using Equation (11), developed by Tatebayashi et al [86].…”

Forest biomass is expected to remain a key part of the national energy portfolio mix, yet residual forest biomass is currently underused. This study aimed to estimate the potential availability of waste woody biomass in the Aizu region and its energy potential for local bioelectricity generation as a sustainable strategy. The results showed that the available quantity of forest residual biomass for energy production was 191,065 tons, with an average of 1.385 t/ha in 2018, of which 72% (146,976 tons) was from logging residue for commercial purposes, and 28% (44,089 tons) was from thinning operations for forest management purposes. Forests within the biomass–collection radius of a local woody power plant can provide 45,925 tons of residual biomass, supplying bioelectricity at 1.6 times the plant’s capacity, which could avoid the amount of 65,246 tons of CO2 emission per year by replacing coal-fired power generation. The results highlight the bioelectricity potential and carbon-neutral capacity of residual biomass. This encourages government initiatives or policy inclinations to sustainably boost the production of bioenergy derived from residual biomass.

“…The amount of RE supply was estimated as heat energy. First, the heat energy obtained by burning the woody biomass (TJ year −1 ) was calculated (Tatebayashi et al, 2015) by assuming that all harvested AGB (oven-dry kg biomass year −1 ) obtained from the abandoned pastureland and forest thinning was used for pellets. The moisture content, yield rate, and lower calorific value were set to 10, 80%, and 16.0 MJ kg −1 (Japan Wood Pellet Association, 2017).…”
