Business DevelopmentOur Company / Our Business
We are engaged in the development and operation of gas-fired power generation and renewable energy projects in Japan as well as across various regions worldwide, including Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. In our gas-fired power generation development, we are actively involved in the procurement of fuel and supplying LNG in addition to infrastructure development in our goals to achieve a stable energy supply throughout the entire value chain. Furthermore, as we look toward decarbonizing thermal power, we are exploring the use of new fuels such as hydrogen & ammonia, as well as the application of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Alongside our aggressive development of renewable energy both domestically and abroad, we are working to provide optimal solutions tailored to each region.
Fuel Upstream and Transportation
We handle approximately 36 million tons of LNG annually and actively participate in LNG upstream ventures in Australia and the United States. By securing competitive LNG and gaining access to valuable intelligence from major production projects, we contribute to the stable supply. In addition, in our LNG transportation business, we achieve flexible and competitive fuel transportation through the optimal configuration and efficient operation of our fleet.
Domestic Thermal Power Generation
The domestic thermal power generation business requires both flexibility to meet fluctuating demand and reliability to ensure a stable supply of electricity. We operate Japan’s largest-scale power generation facilities and have honed our expertise and operational techniques over many years, enabling us to provide an economical and stable supply of electricity.
In response to the growing need for a decarbonized society, we are also promoting the transition to fuels that do not emit CO2 when burned.
Overseas Power Generation
We operate close to 30 overseas power generation projects across 10 countries, and we are continuing to expand our operations by leveraging our expertise in the development and operation of numerous large-scale power plants both domestically and abroad. Particularly in Asia, we are collaborating with platform-based companies that span multiple business domains, advancing not only power infrastructure development but also ensuring stable LNG supply and promoting decarbonization efforts.
Renewable Energy
We plan to consolidate our renewable energy business, both domestically and abroad, around our European base of operations. By partnering with local teams in each region, we aim to establish a “glocal” (global + local) structure. In offshore wind, where significant growth is anticipated, we are also intensifying our efforts in floating wind technology, a new frontier in the field. In addition to offshore wind power, we will actively pursue our solar power generation business in Japan and expand our solar and onshore wind power generation businesses in North America, India, and other countries. At the same time, we will also work on battery storage solutions in each country, which will contribute to stabilize the supply-demand balance.
