Toshiba Corporations Kashiwazaki Operations
Kashiwazaki Operations uses steam generated by a boiler as a heat source. The used steam is returned to water and, after passing through a tank, fed to and circulated within the boiler, but until recently, some of the steam was released into the atmosphere.
With the introduction of a steam exhaust heat recovery system, we reduce the amount of steam supplied by recovering the steam that has been released into the atmosphere and using it to preheat the outside air.
By reducing the amount of steam supplied, we achieved a 6.7% reduction in city gas consumption, a 6.7% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and a 4.3% reduction in water intake compared to FY2022 (FY2023 results).
