The Kyushu Economic Research Center released the results of its study of CO2 Emissions in Kyushu’s seven prefectures. It found that with the exception of the emissions from individual households, about 55% of the 130.43 million tons of emissions are accounted for by small and medium-sized business enterprises. As a way to help ameliorate this situation, the center suggests that wood-based biomass be used as an energy source. The proposal is based on the idea that the wood culled from thinning forests could be used to make the fuel.
