Project to extend the life of the Kanazawa Plant
Currently, four waste incineration plants are operating in Yokohama City. The Kanazawa Plant is the newest plant in Yokohama, but about 25 years have passed since its construction, and the core facilities of incinerators, boilers, and exhaust gas treatment facilities have deteriorated. In order to continue stable waste disposal in Motoichi, we will carry out large-scale renovation of the deteriorated core equipment and extend the life of the entire Kanazawa factory.

Renovation of incinerators at Kanazawa Plant
Contractor: JFE Engineering Corporation
Contract amount: 10,978,000,000 yen (including tax)
Contract period: From June 5, 2010 to July 31, 2010
Effects of this project
Reduction of CO2 emissions
By renovating steam turbine generators and introducing energy-saving equipment, this project is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by about 3,000 tons, or about 21% from previous emissions.
Increase in power generation
Currently, the Kanazawa Plant generates electricity for approximately 40,000 households annually. By renovating the steam turbine generator in this project, it is possible to generate more than 3,000 new electricity for more than 3,000 households.
Safety Measures
We will proceed with safety first, taking into account the surrounding environment. We apologize for any inconvenience during the construction period, but we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
