The Yokkaichi Refinery takes advantage of residual oil for its IPP business. The Yokkaichi Kasumi Power Plant, which has a power generation capacity of 200MW, started in July 2003. We sell the power to Chubu Electric Power Co., Ltd.
We have developed a distributed power supply system that produce low-cost energy for on-site use at facilities such as hospitals and factories. The system uses waste heat generated during electricity production in order to increase the energy utilization efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions.
We have demonstrated LPG fuel cell systems and developed technologies for producing household fuel cell systems and for using recyclable biomass and GTL fuels.
Cosmo Seiwa Agriculture Co., Ltd(Note)
ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid) is natural super amino acid from which chlorophyll or blood is made. Cosmo Oil has produced it successfully and started selling "Pentakeep V," a highly functional fertilizer containing ALA. The hair industry is interested in ALA because of its trichogenous effect.
