The future we seek
Cleaner systems. Better use of resources.
Our vision is a resource-efficient, lower-carbon Asia where waste can become a source of materials, energy and economic value.
About us
New value fromlocal resources.
Connecting Japanese environmental technology with opportunities across Asia. Hokkai BioVentures aims to develop and invest in infrastructure that keeps resources in use.
Based in Sapporo, Hokkaido · Connecting Japan and Asia
Our purpose
A next use forwhat we leave behind.
Recovered resources create local value when they are used again, and when that connection can last.
We consider treatment, resource recovery and the users of recovered materials and energy as parts of one business. Our goal is to shape systems that meet local needs and can operate over the long term.
The role we aim to play
Turning opportunities into practical projects
Our mission brings together waste-processing infrastructure, renewable gas, appropriate energy recovery, alternatives to landfilling and circular resource systems.
Bringing a project together
Technology needsa local connection.
Feedstock collection, operating teams, resource users and long-term finance all matter. We aim to bring these conditions together and identify a practical path to development.

Opportunities are assessed against local demand, regulations and project feasibility.
Our environmental approach
Value beyondresource recovery.
Beyond the amount recovered, we consider whether resources will be used, environmental burdens can be reduced and communities can benefit. Six priorities guide our assessment.
Resource recovery
Recover useful materials and energy from suitable waste streams.
Landfill diversion
Reduce disposal needs through appropriate recovery and treatment.
Clean energy
Evaluate renewable gas and energy recovery from suitable feedstocks.
Climate action
Assess potential emissions benefits against relevant baseline practices.
Circular economy
Keep resources in use through recovery, reuse and recycling.
Sustainable cities
Support the development of modern municipal and industrial infrastructure.
How our intended activities relate to the SDGs
Our stated activities relate to selected UN Sustainable Development Goals. This describes thematic alignment, not certification or official endorsement.
- SDG 7
Affordable & Clean Energy
Renewable gas and energy recovery.
- SDG 9
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
Environmental technologies and infrastructure development.
- SDG 11
Sustainable Cities & Communities
Waste management and resource recovery.
- SDG 12
Responsible Consumption & Production
Recycling and circular resource systems.
- SDG 13
Climate Action
Assessment of potential greenhouse-gas reductions.
- SDG 17
Partnerships for the Goals
Collaboration across companies, governments and investors.
Assess and report
Environmental benefits,supported by evidence.
Environmental performance depends on feedstock, transport, energy use and operating conditions. We intend to assess projects against a clearly defined baseline and include emissions from operation. For biogas, controlling methane leakage and managing digestate are also essential.
- 01
Define the baseline
- 02
Collect operating data
- 03
Assess environmental outcomes
- 04
Report with evidence
Measure first. Report with support.
We intend to report outcomes using project-level data such as recovered resources and energy production. Opportunities and projects are under assessment and development; verified performance figures have not been published.
