日本でのホストの最初のバイオガスプロジェクト：東京の大使館での契約調印式
HoSt has signed the contract for a 550 kWe biogas power plant project in Ishigaki Island, Japan. The signing ceremony took place at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tokyo, Japan, and was accompanied by His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for Japan, Mr. Peter van der Vliet himself, high-level Embassy delegation of the Department of Agriculture and Japanese national and regional media.
Being the first project in Japan, this marks an important milestone in the development of HoSt’s global expansion, and future projects in Japan. “Japan is one of the most important markets for HoSt in Asia with supportive circumstances for renewable energy and new technology, which we continue to supply and serve in energy systems. We are very thankful for this promising collaboration”, says CTO Marcel te Braak. The biogas plant will produce 550 kWe electricity from manure, grass, and other organic waste. This electricity output is equivalent to powering 1,300 homes.
