Environmental Technology for Carbonized Trees - April 2003
The carbonized tree technology promoted by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) is attracting attention as a biomass energy source, especially for its use as a raw material for moso bamboo. Moso bamboo grows wild widely throughout Japan, and approximately 1 million tons are carbonized annually. This technology carbonizes moso bamboo and converts it into a resource that can be used for agriculture and waste disposal. Carbonized bamboo is used as a soil conditioner and deodorizer, and in the agricultural sector, it is expected to promote crop growth by improving water retention.
In the field of waste disposal, bamboo is used in urban waste treatment facilities to control odors, contributing greatly to environmental improvement. Furthermore, this technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 30% compared to fossil fuels, and its potential as a countermeasure against global warming is also being evaluated.
