Background
The exact capacity of the power station is uncertain, and is presumed between 356 MW and 520 MW.[4][5]
According to Daio Paper’s English website in January 2022, the Mishima Mill’s total production volume is about 2.10 million t annually, which accounts for about 8% of the total paper and paperboard production in Japan. It includes 17 boilers and 14 turbines, generates 3,540 t/hour of steam aannually, and has 520 MW of power generating capacity.[6]
Another Daio Paper website listed a 500 MW power generating capacity, noting that 100% of the electricity used at the paper mill is covered by private power generation, and surplus electricity is supplied to Shikoku Island through an electric power company.[7]
Carbon neutrality plans
In May 2021, Daio Paper's business plan noted that Daio was planning to reduce CO2 emissions by 46% compared to 2013 by 2030 by installing recycle-based power generation equipment fueled by biomass and waste, and shutting down one coal-fired boiler at the Mishima mill. It was also aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, shutting down both of the remaining two coal-fired boilers to eliminate coal usage, promoting energy conservation, and steadily expanding source of CO2 absorption through plantation.[8]
