Energy-efficient pellet factory in Tanagura

production and fuel at the same time.

A cogeneration plant was installed at a seed pellet factory in Tanagura, Fukushima Prefecture, to reduce CO₂ emissions and the cost of pellet production.

Goal of the factory:

Reduce cost and carbon footprint for pellet fuel.

Solution:

The “WE-50P” pellet biomass cogeneration plant was installed.

Services and benefits

The heat is used for drying sawdust.
The use of built-in tanks for pellet production has minimized the construction time.
Local, sustainable energy production for the mill’s own needs.
