Matsusaka Woody Biomass Power Plant

This biomass power plant effectively uses excess thinned wood from an area around Mie Prefecture as biomass fuel. The plant operates with a "local production for local consumption" model. Electricity generated by the plant is supplied to neighboring consumers through a power producer and supplier (PPS). Daigas began involvement in November of 2017 with a 14.5% investment ratio.

Sodegaura Biomass Power Station

The power plant is being constructed within the Chiba Factory of Asahi Kasei Corp. (located in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture) and will be one of the largest dedicated biomass power plants in Japan, achieving a power generation capacity of 75,000 kW and high generation efficiency.

Hirohata Biomass Power Plant

This Japan’s largest-class dedicated biomass-fired power plant with a generation capacity of about 75,000kW is located in Hirohata Ward, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture and realizes high-efficiency power generation.
In addition to imported wood chips and palm kernel shells (PKS), the plant uses domestically grown wood chips supplied by Green Power Fuel Corporation, a subsidiary of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. as fuel.
