Background

Taiheiyo Cement Corporation ("Pacific Ocean Cement Corporation") (太平洋セメント株式会社, Taiheiyō Semento Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese cement company, formed in 1998 with the merger of Chichibu Onoda (itself a merger of Chichibu Cement and Onoda Cement) and Nihon Cement (formerly Asano Cement).

The Saitama Cement plant was completed in 1955.

In November 2021, Taiheiyo Cement announced its plans to secure a captive power supply for its Saitama cement plant through the installation of a new gas-powered generator. The company said that electricity from the generator will replace purchased energy in the plant's operations. It is also in the process of constructing a new waste heat recovery (WHR) power unit at the facility. Taiheiyo Cement claimed that both upgrades will result in a 62,000t/yr reduction in operations' CO₂ footprint. Construction was expected to commence before 2022 in order for the producer to commission the new equipment in mid-to-late 2023.

In October 202, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced the delivery of a cement plant waste heat recovery power generation (WHRPG) system to the Taiheiyo Saitama Plant.
