Construction contract for 250kW biogas plant concluded in Japan

Japan-based company Renagen has signed a contract with EnviTec Biogas for the construction of a 250kW biogas plant near the Japanese city of Osaka. The plant is scheduled to go online in spring next year.

In a statement, EnviTec says that energy generation from waste material in Japan marks an important step towards the attainment of the country's climate objectives. While none of the 50 active reactors in Japan deliver electricity today, only 4% of the nation's energy is derived from renewable energy sources.

'We would like to establish ourselves in Japan's emerging biogas market,' says Renagen CEO Daisuke Mishima.'
