研究成果概要

This study aimed to identify the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of utilizing biomass waste as energy, especially in the emerging region of Southeast Asia. We have conducted two major research activities to achieve this aim. Firstly, we identified the types of biomass waste commonly used in the region from the agricultural, silvicultural, and industrial sectors as well as the technology used, the types of energy products, the technology readiness levels, as well as the location of these activities. We categorized, analyzed, and plotted these findings into maps using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping. From that analysis, we have identified that using municipal organic waste with biogas technology is one of the most promising feedstocks and technology combination with a relatively good technology readiness level. Therefore, our second activity was to conduct an extensive literature review as well as field interviews with project managers who are running such technology in the Asian region, namely China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines. It was found that although it is not without challenges, the technology has reached a high readiness level. The details of the technical, financial, and social challenges and coping strategies could be found in our publications.
