About waste incineration plant

In order to solve the garbage problem, it is important to promote the suppression of garbage generation and reuse and recycling. On the other hand, incineration plants are indispensable facilities for maintaining various economic activities in the city, conservation in the living environment of citizens, effective use of landfills, and efficient collection and transportation.
Currently, there are the operating Tsurumi Plant, Asahi Plant, Kanazawa Plant, Tsuzuki Plant, and Hodogaya Plant in Yokohama City.

Efforts for Decarbonization

Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau is implementing various initiatives to realize a decarbonized society.

CCU: Carbon dioxide Capture and Utilization (separation, collection and use of carbon dioxide)

Yokohama City, Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environment and Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. are conducting a joint CCU demonstration project in Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama by transporting CO2 separated and collected from exhaust gas from waste incineration plants to Tokyo Gas' methanation demonstration facility and using it as a raw material for methanation.
Through demonstrations through regional collaboration, we are working to improve and expand the use of CCU technology, and to commercialize e-methane (e-methane).

Demonstration test for effective use of waste incineration heat

We are promoting a demonstration test with Toagosei Co., Ltd. to reduce local carbon dioxide emissions by using steam that does not emit carbon dioxide generated by incineration of garbage in the region.
By supplying steam generated from the incineration of waste at the Tsurumi Plant to the Yokohama Plant of Toagosei Co., Ltd., and replacing fossil fuel-derived energy consumption with zero CO2 vapor from the Tsurumi Plant to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and verifying it.
Currently, we are preparing for supply.

Does the municipal underground railway "Green Line" run at zero CO2 for "environmentally friendly energy (electricity)"?

The electricity generated at the garbage incineration plant is "environmentally friendly energy (electricity)" that does not emit CO2. In addition to public facilities such as the city hall, the 18th ward government building and nearby sewage treatment facilities, this "environmentally friendly energy" is used by city businesses as "Hamako Electricity * 1", resulting in the use of electricity. We are reducing CO2 emissions.
Since fiscal 2023, the Green Line has been operating without emitting CO2 by utilizing "environmentally friendly energy" on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line.

The Green Line operated using non-fossil certificates from incineration plants

※1 Hamako Electricity: By supplying the value of zero CO2 emissions added to electricity generated at waste incineration plants to local businesses through retail electricity companies, local production and local consumption of the value created from burnable garbage in the city.
※2 Non-fossil Certificates : A certificate issued by a national certification machine that proves electricity that does not use fossil fuels such as oil (the value of zero CO2 emissions). In facilities that utilize non-fossil certificates, CO2 can be regarded as zero even if electricity generated at thermal power plants that emit CO2.
