JAPAN FIRES UP BIOMASS ENERGY

• More than 800 projects have already won government approval and government subsidies.
• Supported by Japan’s Feed-in-Tarriff subsidy scheme
• 12.4 gigawatts (GW) of capacity — equal to 12 nuclear power stations
• Projects would need the equivalent of up to 60 million tonnes of wood pellets, compared with global
output of 24 million tonnes in 2014
• Japan Renewable Energy (JRE) is building its first biomass power station north of Tokyo, adding to
