Farming and biochar
We plan to introduce moringa cultivation and a biochar system, and will set out growing land and uses for the char.

Carbon business
We plan a carbon credit business and will confirm the applicable methodology, measurement and record-keeping, and certification requirements.
Current progress
Preparations are under way to repair equipment damaged in the earthquake and resume power sales. It has been reported that the prefecture confirmed the subsidy will continue. Repair quotes and acquisition terms are being worked out with a view to restarting.
Approach to revenue and costs
Revenue comes mainly from selling electricity; use of heat will be considered after checking equipment conditions and demand. Restart, fuel and maintenance costs will be set out.
