Abstract
Compared with the research activity of biochemical conversion, that of thermochemical conversion of biomass and organic wastes in Japan is still in the developing stage. The research and development in connection with the fermentation of alcohol by a fiochemical process was promoted as a natioal project of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry(MITI). Thermochemical processing of biomass and organic wastes has been promoted as a part of MITI’s national projects Star Dust“80 and Aqua Renaissance ‘80. In Japan comparatively large developmental research is funded by grants-in-aid and trust funds from such bodies as MITI, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and the Agency of Science and Technology, while the basic research work is often done at the universities. This is also the case with research and development involving biomass biochemical conversion.
