Furusato FIC Energy, a joint venture of Chubu Electric Power, Inabata & Co., and Furusato Mokuzai Logistics K. K. has started construction work on the Yahaba Biomass Power Station.
The facility is a wood-fired biomass plant to be built in Yahaba-cho, Shiwa-gun, Iwate Prefecture in Japan, which will generate 1,990 kW of electricity mainly from forest timber offcuts and unused thinned wood, and is scheduled to start operation in January 2026.
The three companies and the project company are proceeding with the construction of the facility with the understanding and cooperation of the local community and related parties, they said.
This project will contribute to the effective utilization of forest timber offcuts and the realisation of a regional recycling-oriented society, they added.
