ENVITEC BIOGAS AG EnviTec Biogas scores in Osaka with Waste-to-Energy pilot project
Lohne, 25th August 2014 - It is the first time a planning contract is being signed by EnviTec Biogas in Japan: this planned 250 kW biogas plant near the Japanese city of Osaka is supposed to be operated solely using bio-waste. "With our new construction project, we are setting new standards not only in the region, but also in the field of energy generation using waste material from supermarket and restaurant waste", says Hendrik van der Tol, EnviTec Regional Director Asia/Pacific.
No other country in the world has felt the consequences of atomic energy in this century as closely as Japan. On 11 March 2011, over 15,000 people were killed by an earthquake and a tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was heavily damaged. The island state was on the brink of a nuclear disaster. Before FIT was established, a vanishingly small four percent of Japan's energy was derived from renewable energy sources.
This might change in future due to the use of green energy suppliers such as biogas. "The Japanese government has introduced electricity compensations for twenty years at a rate of 28 cents", van der Tol explains further. Together with the Japanese company RENAGEN, the biogas all-rounder from Lower Saxony wants to promote the introduction of the green multi-talent Biogas in Japan within the scope of a strategic partnership. "With EnviTec Biogas, we are proud to have an internationally renowned biogas plant supplier on our side, with whom in the future we can offer installation engineering made in Germany, in Japan", says Daisuke Mishima, Chairman of RENAGEN.
In order to create more awareness about biogas technology in Japan, EnviTec Biogas, together with its Japanese business partner RENAGEN, was a part of the "Grand Renewable Energy" trade fair in Tokyo beginning of August.
RENAGEN Inc. is a carve out company from REMATEC Corporation-a leading company in waste recycling in Japan and Southeast Asia. By cooperating with EnviTec, RENAGEN's goal is to become the leading company in biogas power generation market in Japan.
