「The Energy business will expand the use of biomass fuels in IPP operations and continue to consider overseas production of torrefied pellets.」
The company continues to expand the use of biomass fuels in IPP operations and consider overseas production of torrefied pellets. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「To promote the use of woody biomass as a renewable energy source, the company developed torrefied pellets, a carbonized woody biomass fuel that can be co-fired at a ratio of 10% or more by heat value in coal-fired power plants, and began construction work on a demonstration facility with production capacity of 60,000 t/year.」
The project progressed from the previous fiscal year’s decision to construct the demonstration facility to the start of construction on the facility with annual capacity of 60,000 tonnes. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
