SymEnergy and BioEnergieWegscheid accelerate the deployment of
the 900 kW biomass gasification model in Japan - Cooperation forthe completion of the realization of the Ikuno Ginzan Biomass PowerPlant
BioEnergie Wegscheid (BEW) and SymEnergy signed a contract on April 7, 2023, forthe purchase of a wood gasification combined heat and power (CHP) plant and associated peripheral equipment. It covers the construction of the turnkey biomass
power plant Ikuno-Ginzan (owner: Ikuno-Ginzan Biomass Inc.), which is plannednear the city of Asago, Hyogo Prefecture/Japan.
Project stability and risk mitigation:
There are many wood gasification CHP projects with low uptime in Japan. In the development of theIkuno Ginzan Biomass Power Plant, we will pursue project stability and reducing risk by signing a contract
for a "CHPs’ uptime warranty " and providing a "fixed maintenance cost service" to the project owner.
Future plans:
In the future, we will work together to accelerate the nationwide diffusion of 1,000 kW-sized power plantmodels. Also, SymEnergy, ENTRENCO, and BEW will contribute to establish a biomass eco system thatmatches the local wood availability with our respective know-how.
