Biomass flow analysis program have been developed in Bio-recycle research project. The program using mainly statistical data for flame numbers and various existing unit numbers predicts the present flow of biomass in a region. More accurate data on the composition of biomass is necessary to improve the accuracy of analyses. We measured the composition of food residue, pruned branches, harvest residue and various types of water because little information is available on these constituents. We also estimated the amount of total carbon in feed and food with standard tables. The results indicated that the composition database was improved by adding these constituents and it is possible to predict the amount of total carbon within an approximately l0-15% error with a standard Table. The data were arranged and an easy-to-use biomass composition database created.
