Carbon Neutrality Articles

The ENEOS Group, as a leader in the energy and materials industry in Japan, aims to achieve a carbon-neutral society by 2050 by utilizing renewable energy, biomass, and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). In this article, we talked to Hayashi Makoto from the Basic Chemicals Planning Department and Sato Kota from the Basic Chemicals Sales Department, who are promoting the defossilization of plastic raw materials (green chemicals). We will dive into two solutions: biochemicals that use plants, used oil, and such as raw materials for chemicals, and recycled chemicals that come from raw materials derived from the conversion of waste plastic into oil.

The ENEOS Group, as a leading company in the energy and materials industries in Japan, is working alongside the government and other companies to achieve a carbon neutral society by 2050 using methods such as renewable energy, biomass, and CCS (CO₂ capture and storage technology). This time, we interviewed Hayashi Kenichiro of the Lubricants Sales Marketing Group, who is working to further reduce CO₂ emissions by promoting a circular economy through the conversion of materials. ENEOS is developing lubricant products using plant-derived base materials that contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions throughout the supply chain, including customer use. We will talk in detail about products with plant-derived base materials that still maintain the conventional performance of fuel efficiency and longer lubricant life.
