About
Forest Energy Inc. is a Tokyo-based company that develops and operates small-scale woody biomass cogeneration plants in rural Japan, partnering with Austria’s SynCraft and INNIO’s Jenbacher engines. At its Shingu, Wakayama plant it produces biochar as a byproduct of wood-gas power generation, and in 2023 became the first in Japan to receive the European Biochar Certificate (EBC Basic Materials), monetizing CO2 removal via J-Credits and Carbonfuture.
