1. Background and Purpose

About Asia Biomass Energy Researchers
Invitation Program (PDF:788KB)

Asia Biomass Energy Research Core has been established in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) as the domestic energy initiative, based on "Japan's Cooperation Initiative for Clean Energy and Sustainable Growth" that was presented at the second East Asia Summit (EAS) held in January 2007.
This establishment has been welcomed at the joint ministerial statement of the First East Asia Summit Energy Ministers Meeting.
With this background, Asia Biomass Energy Cooperation Promotion Office (abbreviated as "Asia Biomass Office") has been setup in New Energy Foundation (NEF) to cooperate practically and effectively with participating countries of EAS in the biomass energy sector.
Asia Biomass Office in NEF and Asia Biomass Energy Research Core in AIST are jointly carrying out Invitation Program that invites researchers from EAS countries to promote their research activities in each country.

2. Program Description

Asia Biomass Office in NEF and Asia Biomass Energy Research Core in AIST are working collaboratively to implement Researchers Invitation Program, contacting with research organizations in EAS countries.
Under the Joint Research Program, three biomass energy research works are planned in FY2008. The contents of each works are as follows;

1. Sustainable Utilization and Production Technology of Biofuel for Asian Countries
2. Quality Standards, Quality Control and Distribution Management of Biofuel
3. Environmental and Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Biofuel and Energies
