Biomass
Woody biomass energy uses unused thinning wood, a byproduct of Japan’s forestry industry that would otherwise
go to waste. This includes small-diameter logs and forest residues collected during thinning operations, which are essential for healthy forest management but often have no market value.
At Yukari Energy, we transform this underutilized local resource into clean electricity through gasification, a highly efficient process that converts solid biomass into a combustible gas. This allows us to generate renewable power with lower emissions and higher thermal efficiency compared to traditional combustion systems.


Our approach is designed around local energy ecosystems:
- We operate in areas with little to no competition for woody biomass fuel.
- Our supply chain is short, traceable, and community-based, drawing fuel directly from nearby forests.
- We build close relationships with local governments, forestry cooperatives, and residents, ensuring long-term trust and mutual benefit.
Yukari Energy is not just generating power, we’re creating value for Japan’s rural communities while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy future.

Philosophy
At Yukari Energy, we believe renewable energy should benefit more than just the grid, it should nourish the land, the people, and the ecosystems it touches. Our philosophy is built on three pillars:
Together, we aim to create a model of decentralized energy that empowers rural areas and restores balance to Japan’s forests.
Delivering energy at the local scale.
Projects
Yukari Energy focuses on <2MW woody biomass projects that are tailored to local conditions and forestry ecosystems.
Each of our projects contributes to Japan’s energy transition while keeping the forest economy alive.
In the wake of the triple disaster in Fukushima in 2011, the Government of Japan enacted the Renewable Energy Act which provided above market Feed-in Tariffs for renewable energy.
Of the various types of renewable energy, biomass enjoys the highest feed-in tariff rates of 40 yen/kWh for <2M projects as well as local and national government support because biomass stimulates rural communities which are suffering economic and demographic decline.

The cost of producing energy from biomass is 20 yen/kWh. This cost-price difference will yield investors 4X cash-on-cash returns and IRR’s in excess of 14%.
