In recent years, many countries have promoted production and utilization of bio fuel in order to reduce global warming and respond to the inflating crude oil prices. New energy innovation is needed to promote the efforts of local-production for local-consumption through biomass energy and wind-powered electricity and solar-powered electricity to improve the self-sufficiency ration of the energy supply in the region. Biomass is substantial renewable resources that can be used as a fuel to generate electric power and useful thermal output. But energy systems of the liquid fuel or the gasification of biomass normally need special machines, and are expensive. Many countries try to develop low cost and efficient wood biomass energy system. One of the favorable systems is biomass system reforming system. Waste water from steam reforming process included a lot of ingredients eluted from trees. Therefore, there is a potential as growth promoter. It is essential to utilized the wastewater from steaming reforming process. So this study aimed to find the effective agricultural use of the waste water for promoting biomass utilization. Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica)and Konara oak(Quercus serrata) were steamed reformed.The wastewater samples were diluted 10,50,100,200,500 times, and applied for germination test. The result shows that cedar steam reformed wastewater was effective in plant growth in all concentration, and Konara oak was effective in the plant growth in low concentration.
