Japanese companies: activities Sumitomo Corporation to invest in biomass fuel manufacturing business in Brazil. (2016) Annual capacity: 175,000 tons http://www.sumitomocorp.co.jp/english/news/detail/id=29182 Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd . and its R&D partner in Thailand will begin demonstrative production of torrefied pellets on a scale of 80,000 tons per year in 2017. http://www.nipponpapergroup.com/english/news/year/2016/news160427003373. html Mitsubishi Corporation Power Ltd ., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, has joined with The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc . to establish a new joint venture.(2017) http://www.mitsubishicorp.com/jp/en/pr/archive/2017/html/0000032145.html 10
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. 11
Points to remember • Industry and government are eager to learn technologies such as torrefaction, black pellets. • Large companies are looking for opportunities for investments and partnerships with their capital and global network. 12
