Description

In recent years, wood log boilers are introduced to provide heat or heated water for communities in municipalities in mountainous areas of Japan. In this research, the impact of introducing the wood log boiler to the region is analyzed and evaluated from holistic perspective. It reveals that the impact is positive in cases where the purposes are environmental conservation, promotion of energy autonomy or revitalization of the forestry. On the other hand, the system depends on temporary employment. As an overall evaluation, it is concluded that the introduction of wood log boilers are appropriate for the non-profit organizations and municipalities with public purposes at this stage.
