General Electric Steam Power has signed a deal with Hitachi Zosen Corporation to design, manufacture and supply the main parts of a power plant that will burn plant-derived biomass to produce 50 megawatts of electricity for Japan’s grid.
Kamisu power plant will burn a mixture of palm kernel shells, the waste product from palm oil production, and wood pellets, which are made from the waste product from timber mills. The energy produced will then be supplied to the people who live in and around Kamisu, a city with a population of nearly 100,000.
Commercial operation is expected in July 2023.
