2. Content 1. Background and Purpose 2. Research content ・ woody resources ・ BTL ・ potential quantity of woody biomass ・ proposal of utilization in Hachinohe 3. Conclusion

3. Utilize Unused Forest Resources

4. Woody biomass … occurred on the seashore etc. incineration and industrial waste treatment ・ Prepare the Biomass plantation obtain resource quantitatively ・ Liquefied fuel generation technology be changed into electric power and heat now plan We should use effectively

5. Keywords ・ Carbon-neutral ・ Woody biomass ・ The electricity generation by biomass

6. Investigation and examination content 1. Estimation of potential amount of woody biomass resources in Aomori Prefecture 2. The feature of woody biomass power generation, and presumption of potential quantity 3. The feature of Biomass-to-Liquid technics (BTL), and presumption of potential quantity 4. Proposal what use in Hachinohe-city

7. Woody biomass power generation Energy potential quantity of trees or grass = (Weight of a driftwood, pruning branch and Grass cutting generate) × Net calorific value × (1 － Moisture content) Net calorific value: Driftwood and pruning branch 10,390MJ/t Grass cutting 13,950MJ/t Moisture content: Driftwood and pruning branch 36.2 ％ Grass cutting 15.8 ％ 1MJ=0.278kWh

8. CO 2 Emissions CO 2 Emissions (kg-CO 2 ) = Amount of power used (kWh) × Emission factor (kg-CO 2 /kWh) The Emission factor: 0.473 kg-CO 2 /kWh
