Enshu Forest Energy began commercial operations at its 7.1MW biomass plant in Fukuroi city of Shizuoka prefecture, Japan on 16 November, reported Argus Media[1].
The facility is expected to burn 90,000t/yr of wood chips made from unused forest materials, which will be gathered primarily from Shizuoka prefecture.
It has the capacity to generate approximately 53GWh/yr of electricity, set to be sold under Japan’s feed-in tariff scheme for two decades.
The site came on line a fortnight earlier than expected, because operating company Enshu Forest Energy completed its safety check and test runs ahead of schedule.
Enshu Forest Energy is a joint venture between Forest Energy, Shizuoka Gas and Power and Chubu Electric Power.
