【Record of Activity】
Iwate prefecture is currently exploring the possibility of producing ethanol from various biomasses that are available within Iwate prefecture. One of the purposes of this exploration centers around the idea of costs related to the production and transportation of raw materials. If energy can be produced from the existing materials within the prefecture and furthermore utilized for prefecture needs, efficient bio-energy production and consumption will be achieved. Currently Dr. Takeda is conducting research on producing ethanol from the waste straws from paddy and other cereals fields. The work has been going well as it has been accompanied by both the support and good collaboration between the private sector and Iwate government.
