Himeji Daiichi is a 1,442 MW gas power station in Hyogo, Japan. It ranks #60 of 692 Japan power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 1,891,000 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 441k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 32.8% of Japan's electricity; the national grid averages 477 gCO₂/kWh (32.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 1,442 MW, Himeji Daiichi is well above the median gas plant in Japan (847.4 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Mitsubishi Power: not found. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
