Sweden-headed cleantech developer Climeon AB has revealed that has recently signed an agreement with an undisclosed Japanese power producer with operations in biomass to supply its waste heat to power technology. Climeon’s first delivery will take place in the last quarter of 2017 and continue through 2018.

According to a statement, the solution will increase the efficiency of the plant by converting low-temperature heat to electricity at higher efficiency than previously possible, and at the same time contribute to achieving the sustainability goals set in 2015 to reverse climate change.

The Climeon system converts waste heat into 100 percent clean electricity. The solution is cost efficient, can be managed remotely, and is a sustainable solution for renewable and clean energy.

– Waste heat recovery is a large market in Japan with many foreign and local players present. With this order, we demonstrate that Climeon is bringing a unique offering to the market with a highly efficient solution at a competitive price level. Both biomass and geothermal are important renewable sources that can supply baseload power and therefore work as an alternative to coal and other fossil fuel based power plants said Ruben Havsed Head of Geothermal Sales at Climeon in a statement.

Japan’s ratification of the sustainability goals set in 2015, alongside the move away from nuclear energy, has seen a dramatic increase in biomass power production in the country. The process of generating power from biomass is one that typically produces low-temperature waste heat.
