Japan: Biofuels Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Japan’s current renewable energy policy focuses on generating power from solar, wind, and geothermal sources. Imports of wood pellets have been increasing for thermal power generation. For biofuels, FAS projects that the Government of Japan (GOJ) will achieve its 2010 plan to introduce 500 million liters (crude oil equivalent) of biofuels by 2017. There is a broad consensus within Japan biofuels should not be produced using food crops. Consistent with this view, Japan is focusing research efforts on technology to produce biofuels from sources that do not compete with food.
