The city of Saeki in Oita Prefecture announced that Tokyo-based Sumitomo Forestry Wood Products and Fukuoka Prefecture-based Nakayama Recycle Industries will build a plant in the city to process wood chips from trees felled to thin forests for use as fuel in power generation. Work will start this month on the plant, which is scheduled to begin operation in April 2012. After processing, the chips will be sold to Kyushu Electric Power and independent power providers as a supplementary fuel.
