Combined heat and power (CHP) specialist ENER-G has appointed Cornes Biogas  as its Cogen Partner for Japan - gaining a first contract at Shikaoi municipal biogas plant, in Hokkaido. The 190kW ENER-G CHP unit, which will be installed, commissioned and maintained by Cornes at the agricultural biogas plant in Shikaoi, replaces existing technology previously employed at the plant.

"We are delighted to welcome Cornes Biogas as our exclusive Cogen partner for Japan, where the company already has an impressive portfolio of biogas CHP projects," said Matthieu Chassagne, head of international business development for ENER-G Combined Power. "With ENER-G's market leading CHP technology and their highly skilled and experienced engineering and maintenance teams, we make an excellent team and look forward to jointly developing many more renewable energy projects."
 

Toru Koyama, chief executive of Cornes Biogas, called ENER-G a "market leader" in small-scale CHP for 30-years. "As Japan seeks to strengthen its energy resilience, there is strong demand for ENER-G's biogas CHP systems for water treatment and anaerobic digestion projects."
