Fukuyama Recyling Power is a 21 MW waste power plant in Hiroshima, Japan. It is operated by Fukuyama Recycle Power Co. Ltd.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 29k homes (estimated). It ranks #454 of 692 Japan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its modelled annual emissions are 208,260 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 49k cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 477 gCO₂/kWh (32.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context
This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 34.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 26% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 40/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
