Japan: Biofuels Annual
Link to report:
FAS/Tokyo expects Japan’s imports of bioethanol to stay steady in line with Japan’s long-standing annual target for on-road biofuel of 500 million liters crude oil equivalent which is entirely fulfilled by bioETBE. There is no national program for biodiesel, and it is therefore in effect absent from the market except in a few localized cases. Japan has yet to realize a market for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), although sustained movement in this direction is now evident. As for the use of biomass in stationary power applications, Japan will see an increase in wood pellet imports as new large biomass power plants, supported by a feed-in tariff, become operational.
