The Korea Forest Service signed an agreement on ligneous biomass energy development and promotion with Korea East West Power Co. on June 16.
The agreement aims to stably supply by-product materials of forest such as wood pellets to the power generation sector, the Korea Forest Service said.
The Korea Forest Service is planning to collect biomass and expand overseas forest resources. Furthermore, the organization aims to push for a project to form forests in waterside areas which will produce wood which will be used as an energy source.
“With the signing of the agreement as a momentum, we will expand the use of wood in the power generation sector while increasing the total amount of wood production to prevent wood resources from leaning too much towards the power generation sector, which can damage the wood industry.
