Kyushu Electric Power Co Inc

Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc. was the lead consultant and engineering partner for the development of a 660 MW supercritical coal-fired power plant in Barauni, Bihar, India, as documented in a 2016 Detailed Project Report prepared for the Bihar State Power Generation Company. The company's proprietary involvement in designing and planning a major new coal-fired power station constitutes direct support for the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in a region already facing significant environmental pressures. While the project may have aimed for higher efficiency "supercritical" technology, its fundamental reliance on coal combustion contributes to long-term environmental damage through air pollutant emissions, coal ash disposal, and associated mining impacts. This activity represents a form of environmental harm through the active propagation of coal-based energy systems, which are a leading global source of toxic contamination and ecological degradation.
