Chiba Shin-Minato Clean Energy Center

The role of this Center is to be a factory contributing to the formation of a environment-compatible recycling-based order of society and to this end we are active in turning wastes into energy resources to the greatest possible extent.
To achieve this, we are introducing the “Super-Waste Power Generation System” that utilizes the heat generated in the waste incineration process. The electricity generated with this system is utilized to cover or internal energy needs and any excess power is sold to the grid (power companies).
Apart from trying to supply thermal energy (heat) to companies in the vicinity we also supply electricity to the ice skating rink built in an adjacent plot.
The entire amount of incineration ash is converted to molten slag for use as a material for public works.
