Waste Reduction and Recycling in the Power Generation Business
Power Generation Business Initiatives
At Mombetsu Biomass Electric Power, incinerator ash emitted by the biomass boiler is used to manufacture foundation fill material (product name "Rovander") for forest roads. This environmentally-conscious product is aimed at building a cyclical operation in which the amount of waste is controlled, reducing environmental impact by helping maintain forests using a by-product of power generated with forest resources. In addition, this Rovander has been recognized as meeting environmental safety standards, and is a Hokkaido Government-certified Recycled Product.
The overall recycling rate for the power generation business was 95.1% in fiscal 2023 and increased to 96.8% in fiscal 2024.
