Renova's Ishinomaki Hibarino Biomass Power Plant commences operations

Its annual power production can meet the yearly consumption of 170,000 households.

Renova’s 75-megawatt (MW) Ishinomaki Hibarino Biomass Power Plant in Japan begins operations.

In a statement, Renova said the power plant, which is fuelled by wood pellets and palm kernel shells, can produce 530 million kilowatt-hours of power annually which is equivalent to the annual power consumption of around 170,000 households.

Aside from Renova, the power plant was also funded by Prominet Power Co., United Purpose Management Inc, and Mizuho Leasing Co., Ltd.

The power plant was designed to withstand the height of a tsunami, following the tsunami that occurred in 2011 due to the Great East Japan Earthquake.

“Going forward, we will operate the power plant while prioritizing coexistence with the local community and safety. We will seek to contribute to the achievement of a decarbonized society in cooperation with local residents and other stakeholders,” Renova said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
