In Japan, Mitsubishi Power, a brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has completed the construction of a 50-megawatt (MW) class woody biomass-fired power plant in the city of Hyuga, in Japan.
The Hyuga Biomass Power Plant, developed by a consortium led by MHI as part of a full turnkey solution for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), will be operated by Hyuga Biomass Power Co., Ltd., a special purpose company (SPC).
“The power plant facility comprises a steam turbine, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler, generator, and other equipment that deliver high combustion efficiency for biomass power generation. Improving power generation and fuel efficiency will lead to further reductions in the plant’s environmental impact,” the company said.
The SPC that will operate the plant is jointly owned by Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., ITOCHU Corporation, Tokyo Century Corporation, and Tokyo Energy & Systems Inc.
“Going forward, MHI Group will continue to focus efforts on the further spread of renewable energy power generation systems such as biomass fuel, which makes effective use of resources and is beneficial in reducing environmental loads, contributing to the stable supply of energy and the conservation of the global environment.”
