2 Location of Nobeoka city and Gokase River Yahoo Japan 2
3 Location of Nobeoka city and Gokase River watershed area Yahoo Japan 3
4 Location of Nobeoka city and Gokase River watershed area The mountains of Kyushu The downtown of Nobeoka The Pacific Ocean 4
5 The downtown of Nobeoka city 5
6 Nobeoka district consists of twenty five plants 6
7 Major products manufactured in Nobeoka city by Asahi Kasei Chemicals Electronics Health Care Fibers 7
8 Power plants of Asahi Kasei Four thermal power plants Nine hydro power plants Capacity : 180,000 kw electricity at maximum 8
9 Construction of the second wood biomass power plant 9
10 Generating electricity using woodchips and coal Wood biomass, 100,000 tons per year Scheduled start-up: July 2012 Fuel composition*: Wood biomass, 60% Coal, 40% * by energy content Coal, 20,000 tons per year 10
11 Major raw materials for woodchips Wood material from construction waste Woodchips 100,000 tons of woodchips will cut CO2 emissions from fossil fuel by 170,000 tons per year 11
12 Forests in Gokase River watershed area Artificial forests account for 60% of all the forests 12
13 Forestry and lumber production are major industries in Nobeoka city 13
14 The issues that forestry and artificial forests in Gokase River watershed area have. 1. Regeneration of old artificial forests doesn t progress 2. Declining of the local communities in the mountainous area 3. Impairing biological diversity because the surface doesn t get enough sun 14
15 Study of procuring and combusting woodchips from Gokase River watershed area at the existing biomass power plant Study of procuring and combusting woodchips Regeneration of old artificial forests doesn t progress Help to solve Declining of local communities in the mountainous area Impairing biological diversity in the old artificial forests 15
16 The members of the procurement and combustion study The agriculture and forestry department of Nobeoka city Nobeoka forestry association Asahi Kasei 16
17 A issue for sustainable utilization of forest woodchips the selling price of woodchips is higher than that of coal by calorie basis < = Logs for woodchips Coal Lowering the price of woodchips from the forests is a big challenge. 17
18 Procurement and combustion study at the existing power plant to develop a system for supplying low-priced woodchips Cutting and carrying out logs shipment Chipping logs shipment The issues we want to identify : Cost Quality Distribution Combustion woodchips 18
19 Goal of the procurement and combustion study run Creating a system to enable woodchips from artificial forest to be utilized at cost competitive with coal Coal Logs from artificial forests 19
20 The expected benefits to forestry, local communities and biodiversity by the sustainable utilization of woodchips from Gokase River watershed 1. Promoting to regenerate old artificial forests 2. Stimulating forestry and local communities by contributing to the increase of employment opportunity 3. Restoring biodiversity in old artificial forests Growing Planting Harvesting Supply of woodchips Gokase River watershed area 20
21 Research of biodiversity change in artificial forests Underbrush and shrubs among trunks of cedar Insects Mammals Birds 21
22 Thank you very much 22
23 Regeneration of old artificial forests doesn t progress Old artificial forests, more than forty years old Collection by clear cutting or thinning Young trees Afforestation, replanting 23
24 local communities in the mountainous area A village with terraced rice fields A small town in mountainous area Terraced rice fields after harvesting Kagura festival 24
25 Impairing biological diversity because the surface doesn t get enough sun Ideal condition, thinning in row Present status, Artificial forests with a little light at the surface Ideal condition, clear cutting and afforestation 25
26 Cost difference among the cutting and pulling out methods High cost Logs discarded in forests Pulling out logs while impeded by standing trees on steep slope Low cost Cutting over all the trees Pulling out all the trees cut at the same time 26
27 Content of my presentation today 1. Nobeoka city and Gokase River watershed area. 2. The power plants we own now and the new wood biomass power plant being constructed. 3. The issues that forestry and artificial forests in Gokase River watershed area have. 4. Feasiblility study of procuring and combusting woodchips from the artificial forests. 5. Expected benefits to forestry, local communities and biodiversity by the sustainable use of woodchips from the artificial forests. 6. Planned research for change in biodiversity by thinning, clear cuting and afforestation in the artificial forests 27
