- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「The company signed a memorandum of understanding with GC concerning a “comprehensive HERO study for major plants” and “the preparation of a roadmap for formulating a decarbonization strategy based on the results.” It conducted a comprehensive study in fiscal 2025, discussed a roadmap for implementing feasibility study projects and basic design documentation projects from 2026 onward, and has already received some orders.」
Following the plan to reduce GC’s CO2 emissions by 55,000 tonnes annually, HERO has progressed to projects for multiple plants covering comprehensive studies, FS, basic design documentation, and performance verification. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「HERO has received multiple orders from customers in Japan and overseas. In particular, for GC (PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited), Thailand’s largest petrochemical company, a modification project has begun to develop, through 2 projects, a plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 55,000 tonnes per year. In addition, following the high evaluation received from GC for these 2 projects, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with GC concerning a “comprehensive HERO study for major plants” and “the preparation of a roadmap for formulating a decarbonization strategy based on the results,” and began a comprehensive study in fiscal 2025.」
HERO developed a plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 55,000 tonnes annually through 2 projects for GC, and a modification project began. In addition, from fiscal 2025, the company will begin a comprehensive study of major plants and prepare a decarbonization roadmap. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「For HERO, the company has received multiple orders from customers in Japan and overseas. In particular, for GC (PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited), Thailand’s largest petrochemical company, it developed a plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 55,000 tonnes per year through 2 projects, and a modification project has begun at GC.」
In addition to multiple orders in Japan and overseas, HERO has progressed to the stage where, through 2 projects for GC, it has developed a plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 55,000 tonnes annually and a modification project has begun at the customer. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「For HERO, the company has received multiple orders from customers in Japan and overseas and is proposing GHG-reduction plans expected to deliver an excellent return on investment.」
HERO has progressed from the development and domestic order stage to receiving multiple orders from customers in Japan and overseas and proposing GHG-reduction plans. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「In the environmental and energy-efficiency field, the company is stepping up promotion in Japan and overseas of SUPERHIDIC®, an innovative energy-efficient distillation system, to contribute to a low-carbon society. It has also commercialized HERO (Hybrid Energy system Re-Optimization), a method developed in fiscal 2019 for simultaneously optimizing mathematically the process and utility systems comprising a plant from the perspectives of energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction, and has already received several orders in Japan.」
HERO has progressed from the development and order-assessment stage to commercialization and several domestic orders. The company is moving forward with providing energy-efficiency and GHG-reduction services in combination with SUPERHIDIC®. - FY2020First statedAnnual report
「With a grant from NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), the company developed HERO (Hybrid Energy system Re-Optimization), a method for simultaneously optimizing mathematically the process and utility systems comprising a plant from the perspectives of energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction. HERO has already been ordered by several major domestic petrochemical manufacturers.」
HERO was developed and orders were received from several major domestic petrochemical manufacturers, leading to the identification for the first time of a standalone theme involving whole-plant energy-efficiency and GHG-reduction services.
