Join us as we embark on this exciting adventure towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. 

This Kumamoto Geothermal power plant is an addition to Japans Geothermal power planets as we had earlier on highglighted on the one in Appi

Recently the world has been keen on Geothermal power plant however Japans Geothermal base is yet to be fully unlocked given that only 0.03 % of geothermal is being utilized even when the country is located strategicaly in the Pacific ring of a Fire , a Geothermal hotspot theres an obvious need of companies to boster up this resource With the right mode of approach.
