Developed biomass industrial complexes

In 2002, Ebara proposed the concept of creating "Biomass Industrial Complexes" as its major approach to achieving a sustainable society. As most of the wastes handled by Ebara are derived from biomass, the company came up with the idea that such a complex would comprise an ideally environment-friendly industrial system by embodying a sustainable social system that would utilize biomass for both energy and material resources and be based on zero emission technologies.

Worked on biomass town projects

Ebara is currently involved in some of these projects. One example involves Yamada Town in Chiba Prefecture, where industries, government bodies and academics have jointly conducted experimental studies of a multiple biomass utilization system.
