Saga City has achieved a global first by obtaining the ISCC PLUS certification for capturing and utilizing CO2 from its waste incineration plant. This certification verifies that the CO2 captured is derived from sustainable biomass sources, making it the first time in the world that such a certification has been awarded for CO2 from waste incineration. The CO2 captured at Saga City’s plant, which burns municipal waste to generate biomass power, is provided to nearby agricultural greenhouses and research facilities for use in crop cultivation and biological studies. The city plans to leverage this certification to further expand its CO2 utilization efforts and enhance its contributions to sustainability and environmental innovation. Source: Saga City
