The biomass power market in Japan is primarily driven by the government's strong support and initiatives for renewable energy, including biomass. Japan aims to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependency on fossil fuels, leading to increased investments and incentives for biomass power projects.

Biomass power is considered environmentally friendly as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels, aligning with global climate goals and regulations. The aforementioned factors are promoting the development of new biomass power plants in Japan.

For instance, in April 2024, the Ishinomaki Hibarino Biomass Power Plant of Japan, with a generation capacity of 75MW, commenced operations, providing electricity to approximately 170,000 homes. The aim is to reduce coal's share from 31% to 19% and petroleum's share from 4% to 2%. These policies build on earlier ones from 2020 targeting the phaseout of old and inefficient coal units.
