For the future.
To protect lives and livelihoods when disaster strikes.
Y'SBRAIN GROUP provides world-leading woody biogas power generation expertise.* We manage every stage of BIOGASPARK® plants, from design and construction to operation.
*In woody biomass power generation, achieving 42% electrical efficiency at a capacity of approximately 10 MW is among the highest levels in the world.
Japan's First Woody Biogas Power Plant
with World-Leading Efficiency
BIOGASPARK is our business brand: power generated from gas produced from woody biomass, with the heat put to use as well.
Three Objectives
Infrastructure that helps save lives during disasters
Nationwide expansion in partnership with local businesses
Developing plant technology with world-leading efficiency
Four Features
Compact. Highly Efficient. Built to Serve Communities.
BIOGASPARK's greatest strength is electrical efficiency of 42% or higher at a capacity of approximately 10 MW. Sites are selected with elevation and ground conditions in mind, near designated evacuation shelters, so the plants can provide vital support to local communities during disasters.
Helping Reduce CO₂ Emissions
BIOGASPARK uses cogeneration to supply both heat and electricity. Heat produced during power generation is recovered and reused. Efficiently supplying these two forms of energy also helps reduce CO₂ emissions, creating a power generation system with substantial added value.
Electricity and Water for Evacuation Shelters
Normally, the plants supply electricity to utilities. During disasters, they can supply electricity and water to nearby evacuation shelters.
Expanding Across Japan
We aim to expand BIOGASPARK nationwide, drawing on our expertise in woody biogas power generation. We will help create a prosperous and disaster-resilient Japan.
