Background
The station is located in Aomoriyachi Kawaragi, Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.[4][5] Some of the plant's coal-fired units have been retired and replaced with biomass-fired capacity.
Partial biomass replacement
In October 2016, Mitsubishi announced a plan to replace the existing coal-fired plant at its Hachinohe paper mill with a biomass-fired plant.[6] Construction of the biomass plant began in November 2017.[7] The biomass plant was commissioned in September 2019 and two units, Units 6 and 7, at the coal-fired plant were retired.[8][9]
