- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「To achieve a decarbonized society, we are developing combustion equipment and technologies for asphalt plants that can use natural gas, various biomass fuels, ammonia, hydrogen and other fuels.」
The range of decarbonized fuels has expanded to natural gas, biomass, ammonia and hydrogen, and the company is proceeding with the commercialization of combustion equipment and technologies compatible with multiple fuels. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「With the aim of decarbonizing our products by 2050, we are developing burners that use ammonia and hydrogen, currently attracting attention across industries as decarbonized fuels, to heat and dry aggregate. In particular, although still at a small scale, we have conducted production tests for asphalt mix using a hydrogen-fuel burner and demonstrated technically that asphalt mix can be produced using hydrogen fuel.」
The business is expanding from conventional biomass and carbonized fuels to decarbonized-fuel burners using ammonia and hydrogen, and has demonstrated the feasibility of producing asphalt mix with hydrogen. - FY2021AchievedAnnual report
「Development of the carbonized-fuel burner, which we had continued since the year before last, has been completed. To promote its implementation in society, we aim to build regional circular societies that use biomass fuels suited to the characteristics of each region, leveraging the burner's combustion properties rather than limiting its use to carbonized fuel.」
Completion of the carbonized-fuel burner intended for use with difficult-to-use materials and biomass fuels has been stated explicitly, with the next phase focused on implementation in society and the creation of regional circular societies. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「In the asphalt plant-related business, we are developing a carbonized-fuel burner to contribute to the creation of a regional circular society.」
The policy of using difficult-to-use materials and other resources as fuel continues to be linked to the creation of a regional circular society. In addition to the carbonized-fuel burner, development of an asphalt foamed-material system is also underway. - FY2019RestatedAnnual report
「We are developing a carbonized-fuel burner capable of using biomass fuels that can achieve carbon neutrality.」
Development of a carbonized-fuel burner using biomass fuels is ongoing. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「We have developed a pulverized-coal burner capable of burning carbonized material produced from difficult-to-use materials such as bark as solid fuel.」
Development of a pulverized-coal burner using carbonized material derived from difficult-to-use materials as fuel has been completed, advancing product development aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions and making effective use of wood. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「By pulverizing the carbonized material from these difficult-to-process materials and burning it in a pulverized-coal burner for asphalt plants, it can be effectively used as carbon-neutral renewable energy.」
Using a self-sustaining carbonization furnace and a pulverized-coal burner, bark, uprooted wood, bamboo and other materials are used as renewable energy.
