EXEO Group, Inc. (head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Tetsuya Funabashi, President) and Furudono Ronden Eco Power K.K. (head office: Furudono-machi, Ishikawa-gun, Fukushima; Iwao Kikuchi, President) started commercial operation at the Furudono Ronden Eco Power Plant, which uses woody biomass, on August 26, 2024.
Furudono Ronden Eco Power Plant is located on the site of a former elementary school in Furudono-machi, Fukushima.
It generates power using only 100% domestic wood chips procured from foresters, lumbermills and other wood-related businesses that are nearby, within Furudono-machi and Fukushima prefecture.
In addition to generating energy, the power plant is also engaged in an initiative to regenerate and recycle forests which have stopped growing. It will revitalize the forestry industry, ensure the local production of energy for local consumption and help realize a sustainable society.
We will continue to pursue a recycling-oriented society through this power generation business using local wood.
