Biomass power generation is a method of electricity generation that is gaining attention as one of the renewable energy sources. It utilizes organic resources that have previously been discarded, such as wood, agricultural residues, and livestock waste, to produce electricity in a stable manner. In particular, its "carbon-neutral" mechanism, which does not significantly increase carbon dioxide emissions, is highly regarded and has become a part of efforts to combat global warming. This article will provide a detailed explanation of the mechanisms, benefits, challenges, and domestic and international case studies of biomass power generation. *For more detailed content, please refer to the related links.

Biomass boilers and wood biomass boilers are gaining attention in the promotion of decarbonization utilizing renewable energy. In particular, wood biomass boilers that utilize wood waste and thinned wood are expected to not only make effective use of resources but also reduce environmental impact by combining CO2 absorption with afforestation activities. Additionally, in Japan, a subsidy system has been established to support the introduction of these facilities, aiming to reduce installation costs. This article will clearly explain the specific details and conditions of the subsidies and introduce efficient utilization methods. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Thermal recycling (heat recovery) refers to the process of incinerating waste materials such as plastic products and recovering and utilizing the heat energy generated during this process. As the environmental impact of plastic waste is becoming a concern, thermal recycling is gaining attention in Japan for its purpose of effectively utilizing energy resources. The waste that is incinerated mainly consists of general and industrial waste, such as waste plastics, paper scraps, and wood scraps, particularly those that are difficult to recycle through conventional plastic recycling methods or are hard to sort. The waste heat recovered through thermal recycling is used for various applications, including power generation within facilities, heating, hot water supply, and heated swimming pools. **Features** - Waste with foreign substances can also be reused. - Reduces the use of fossil fuels. - Contributes to the prolongation of landfills. - Can suppress the generation of methane gas. In line with the concept of thermal recycling, Ikros treats various waste materials, such as wood scraps and waste plastics, as solid fuel and handles biomass boilers that can utilize the generated heat energy for various purposes. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.*

The EU meteorological information agency reported that the global average temperature in July 2023 reached the highest level recorded since observations began in 1840. In China, a temperature of 52.2°C was recorded in Turpan, while in Spain, 45.4°C was recorded in Catalonia, and Tunisia saw temperatures of 49.0°C. Various countries experienced heavy rainfall, frequent typhoons, and wildfires. In response to this abnormal situation, UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the Earth has entered an era of boiling. With the growing awareness of environmental conservation, companies are increasingly taking on the responsibility of contributing to the SDGs and achieving carbon neutrality. Additionally, due to rising electricity costs and decreasing system installation expenses, the profitability of self-consumption solar power generation systems is improving, leading to an increase in companies adopting these systems. Our company offers "self-consumption solar power generation" systems. Please feel free to consult us when needed.

• Boiler

The Japanese-made solid fuel boiler "Bailer" can accommodate a variety of fuels and effectively utilize them as thermal energy and electrical energy. Since waste plastic fuel (RPF/RDF) is originally garbage, converting it into fuel helps reduce costs and saves on waste plastic disposal fees. Compared to heavy oil boilers, it can produce the same amount of hot water or steam at about one-fourth the price, depending on the fuel. 【What is RPF?】 A coal substitute fuel primarily made from industrial waste plastics and old paper. 【What is RDF?】 A coal substitute fuel mainly composed of general plastics. In addition to wood chips, it also accommodates a variety of fuels such as RPF, RDF, construction waste, and wood pellets. 【Features】 ■ Cost-effective and capable of providing continuous and stable thermal energy supply ■ High-efficiency provision of steam, hot water, and warm air ■ Effective utilization of thermal energy and electrical energy ■ Compatible with a variety of fuels (such as wood chips and wood pellets) The key point is that since it is originally garbage, converting it into fuel helps reduce costs and saves on waste plastic disposal fees.
