Geothermal prospects are gaining momentum in Japan: one power plant at a time
To provide clean energy for future generations, CEO and founder of supermarket chain Kobe Bussan, Shoji Numata is building a geothermal power plant on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. The plant is scheduled to be completed within a year, and has potential to provide electricity to approximately 8,000 homes. “It’s a stable power source 24 hours a day, and it has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions among renewable energies,” Numata said in an interview with ABC News Australia. “I am determined to spend all the money I have for the sake of the next generation.”
