Points to remember

  • Demand for long-term and stable supply of

woody biomass continues.

  • Japan relies on supply from overseas.
  • Environmental assurance such as

sustainability, forest certifications and legality are increasingly important.

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Points to remember

  • Industry and government are eager to learn

technologies such as torrefaction, black pellets.

  • Large companies are looking for
  • pportunities for investments and

partnerships with their capital and global network.
