Environment Environmental Business
We are working to expand our lineup of eco-friendly products while striving for harmony with the environment.
There are two main parts to our Environmental Business, the supply of renewable energy through six solar power plants across Japan, and the sale of AdBlue®, an environmentally friendly high-grade urea water that reduces the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted by diesel vehicles.
Over the more than seven decades since our founding, we have seen it as our mission as an energy supplier to deal with environmental issues head-on. To fulfill this mission, we are committed to improving and expanding our lineup of eco-friendly products and helping to shape a carbon neutral society.

Initiatives for next-generation energiesBiodiesel Fuel
Biodiesel fuel differs from petroleum and other fossil fuels because it is made from plant-based oil, making it environmentally friendly. The plants used as the raw materials for bio fuels absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow, which means they don't introduce additional CO2 into the atmosphere.
