Focusing on realization of a hydrogen energy society. Handling Biomass for renewable energy and PET resins.

・PKS (Palm Kernel Shells)・Kernel shells left over from palm oil production・Used in biomass power generation・Carbon neutral, so reduces CO2 emissions

・Bio based PET resin・PET resin that uses plant-derived materials・Used as raw material for plastic (PET) bottles・Reduced use of fossil resources

and less CO2 emissions when incinerated
