Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. (President and CEO: Shinji Shimomura, hereinafter referred to as "SHI") secured an order from Sakaide Biomass Power Limited Liability Company, which was established by six companies—Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. (Director and President: Keisuke Nagai), Hazama Ando Corporation (Representative Director and President: Masato Fukutomi), Prominet Power Co., Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.; President: Satoshi Baba), erex Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Hitoshi Honna), 신코 덴소 코., Ltd. (President: Junzo Tanimoto), and Sakaide Yusengumi Co., Ltd. (President: Masahiko Aya)—for the construction of a 75 MW biomass-fired thermal power plant (output: 74,950 kW; planned construction site: Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture), including civil engineering works, based on a turnkey contract. SHI will coordinate EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) aspects for the project, which is scheduled to start commercial operation in June 2025.
The plant will use a “circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler,” a high-efficiency biomass-fired boiler that employs the reheating system^*1 and uses wood pellets as its primary fuel. The 카지노 딜러 has supplied more 500 CFB boilers in Japan and abroad,^*2 and SHI’s CFB boilers have a large share of the high-efficiency biomass power generation sector. Sakaide Biomass Power’s high regard for SHI’s delivery record and project proposal were leading factors in its decision to use a SHI CFB boiler in its project.
SHI will continue contributing to a stable electric power supply and the realization of a decarbonized society by pursuing exceptional fuel diversity in CFB boiler technology and providing highly efficient power generation facilities with the aim of effective impact.
