Abstract:
In order to evaluate economic, environmental and social impacts for induced effects on biomass projects, main projects and induced projects of Maniwa city in Okayama Prefecture were counted respectively by using a biomass accounting form. Biomass related projects for woody biomass in Maniwa city including 10 main projects and 7 induced projects were evaluated. Data obtained through the research in Maniwa city were input in a biomass accounting table, and ‘economic balance', ‘CO2 balance', ‘annual number of participants in biomass events', and etc. were calculated and displayed automatically. Analysis of the results showed that the cost and the income for the induced projects were smaller compared with those for the main projects, although the economic and environmental efficiency of the whole system was comparatively high. Display of impacts for induced effects on biomass town project lead to potential for the creation of new induced projects. Biomass accounting form can be an effective tool for supporting accountability of municipalities.
