Updated:7 years, 7 months ago

Tokyo (Japan), Nov 22 (ANI): Japan has introduced a new technology to generate electricity by recycling waste food. JFE Engineering Corporation has established a new company called “J Bio Food Recycle” with cooperation of wholly-owned subsidiary, JFE Kankyo Corporation, also in joint project with East Japan Railway Company and JR East Environment Access. This project began as food recycling business by converting to biogas beginning in August 2018. In this project, 80 ton per day of food waste will be treated by microbial fermentation, and electric power will be generated by using methane gas created in this process as fuel. In the process, food wastes from food factories and train station buildings will be crushed and separated into category including organic matter and other type of waste items like plastic container and wrapping paper. After that, segregated organic matter undergoes moisture adjustment and is sent to fermentation tank where organic matter is fermented by microorganism digestion, and bio-gas will be generated. Then, biogas generated by methane fermentation is supplied straight to gas holder. It is stored here in order to provide stable power generation. Electricity will be generated by gas energy sent from gas holder and sold as renewable energy. In the briefing session, director of J Bio Food Recycle “Satoru Udagawa” spoke about the concept and future plan of this project. This cooperative project will contribute to improvement of food recycling rate and shaping of low carbon society by creating renewable energy. New recycling and power generation method realized by cooperation of Japanese companies will have significant contribution to the future improvement of global environment and conservation of resource.
