Installation of New Gas Engine Power Generation System at Fujiwara Plant

Taiheiyo Cement Corporation (Head Office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Masafumi Fushihara) has decided to place gas engine power generation system at its Fujiwara Plant in Inabe- shi, Mie Prefecture.

The thermal power generation system operating at Fujiwara Plant, which uses oil cokes as its main fuel, was extremely deteriorated and we were considering upgrading the facility to ensure stable operation. At this time, we would like to announce that we have decided to place gas engine power generation system that is carbon neutrality and has less impact on the environment. The construction is scheduled to start from 2025 fiscal year and the operation is scheduled to start at the end of 2026.

The operation of this facility is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 130,000 tons per year in this plant.

Taiheiyo Cement positions the reduction of CO2 emissions from its cement production as an important growth strategy and will work to continue to achieve carbon neutrality through various countermeasures and the promotion of further energy conservation.
