Positioning and the measure of biotechnology energy

How is the measure taken for biotechnology energy of Japan now? Though regrettable, it has still started just. Since the biotechnology energy itself was not accepted as alternative energy till about [ that there is nothing very much to be used widely until now ] and the year before last (2001). It may not be an overstatement, although Japan is behind considerably while being in the directivity of biotechnology energy introduction globally.

The measure for the biotechnology energy of old Japan Jun.2001 Advisory Committee for Energy reply A new alternative energy introduction target is set up. Jan.2002 The alternative energy promoting method government ordinance revision The biomass was formally positioned as one of the alternative energy. Mar.2002 Biomass efficient use technical development Investment determines 2 billion yen as a development budget. Mar.2002 RPS bill (alternative energy use special-measures bill by electric-industry company) enactment The alternative energy use by the electric-industry company was enacted by the bill. Jun.2002 Establishment of the biomass Nippon synthesis strategy committee The committee which consists of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Environment, and Cabinet Office was established the origin led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, and a cabinet meeting decision was made in Parliament. Dec.2002 "Biomass Nippon synthesis strategy" cabinet meeting determination

After the Kyoto Protocol is enacted in December, 1997 before actually beginning a measure as a country, the time for four years has started very much. The alternative energy introduction target stated by the reply of the Advisory Committee for Energy in 2001 will reduce [ use / electric ] 670,000kl, i.e., the crude oil of only that, by crude-oil conversion about 340,000kl and heat use by crude-oil conversion for the purpose of 2010. According to the data in 1999, the amount of crude-oil conversions of biomass power generation needs to let you more general people know a thing called biomass energy first, in order to raise 5.4kl and it in ten years to 34kl. Although the directions which are tackling recycling now at each home have also been increasing in number, in order to reform the recycling system itself, your understanding and cooperation are indispensable.

A new alternative energy introduction target was set up by the reply of the Advisory Committee for Energy in above-mentioned June, 2001. According to it, in electric use, he intends to provide a part for 670,000kl of crude-oil conversions with biomass energy in the target case in 2010 in 340,000kl of crude-oil conversions, and heat use.

A part of part to be used as power generation is included.

That is, in the electric use field, the target which will increase to 34 the biomass power generation only whose 5.4 track record is in 2010 to increase a thing without the track record in the 1999 fiscal years to 67 in the heat use field in 2010 was set up in the 1999 fiscal year. This becomes the rate in which biomass energy occupies 5% of the whole energy amount of supply.

Through such circumstances, a cabinet meeting decision of the special-measures method enforcement ordinance about promotion of alternative energy use etc. was made on January 22, 2002, it was proclaimed and enforced on January [ of the same year ] 25, and biomass energy was formally positioned as one of the alternative energy.
