In 2023, the generating capacity of bioenergy in Japan amounted to approximately 6.4 thousand megawatt, the highest amount of the past decade. Figures increased steadily from about 1.6 thousand megawatt ten years ago. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be less dependent on fossil fuel imports, the Japanese government currently aims to increase the use of renewable energy sources.
