The Ofunato Biomass Station was constructed on the premises of the Ofunato cement plant over a period of three years and started commercial operations in January 2020. The power station can supply all of the electricity required by the plant as well as for the community. It uses palm kernel shell (PKS) and a small amount of coal as fuels with an output of 75 MW, making it one of Japan's largest biomass power stations. Annual electric power generation is approximately 520 GWh, equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 119,000 ordinary households, and the associated CO emissions reduction is 308,000 tonnes/year.
