Lotilla said the electricity that will be generated by the project will be used at the PSC facility to replace the electricity imported from the Mindanao grid. “By producing new power from a waste source, this will help to stabilize the power supply in the area thereby helping domestic users to obtain more reliable supply of electricity,” he added. PSC’s current demand is between 22 to 24 MW. PSC, a subsidiary of JFE Steel Corporation of Japan, is a stand-alone iron-ore sintering plant. Under the project, the heated air from the cooling process will pass through a boiler before being expelled. The steam from the boiler will be used to drive turbine and generate electricity with a minimum output of 18.6 MW. The construction of its waste heat recovery power generation project was pegged at P1 billion started in January 2007 while commissioning is expected in the second quarter of 2008. Its operational life is estimated at 20 years. PSC has been in the country for more than 30 years now. The project, Lotilla said will enable the displacement of some of the power from the fossil fuel plant thus contributing to a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gas from the Mindanao grid. Currently, the Mindanao grid is supplied by a number of fossil-fuel based power generation plants. The plant takes inputs of iron-ore, coal and limestone, and processes them ready for use in blast furnaces. The sintered ore is being produced at a very high temperature and therefore needs to be cooled before being stored. The sintered ore is exported to Japan, for use in JFE Steel’s integrated steelworks. PSC President Shinichiro Yamana, on the other hand, said its heat recovery power generation project is a fulfillment of PSC’s commitment to make contribution to the society by stabilizing power in the grid and to the most important mankind concern today of mitigating global warming. Last May 5, 2007, PSC’s application for Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement under the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project of the Kyoto Protocol has already been approved by the International Executive Board of the CDM
