Our Specialty
Business & Research
- Greenhouse Gas Fixation
By utilizing and absorbing carbon dioxide emitted from power plants and factories as input for biopolymer production by photosynthetic organisms, we will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in various industrial fields, which are expected to become increasingly important in the future.
- Industrial Biopolymer
We will supply biopolymers with excellent environmental performance that are biodegradable and marine degradable, synthesized and produced by photosynthetic organisms using air (carbon dioxide and nitrogen), seawater, and sunlight as inputs, which are biomass that exists inexhaustibly on the earth but have not been fully utilized until now. By supplying biopolymers with excellent environmental performance that are biodegradable and marine degradable, synthesized and produced using photosynthetic organisms as inputs, we will contribute to the spread of environmentally friendly alternative materials and products in all aspects of raw materials, production methods and life cycles compared to conventional plastics and synthetic fibers.
- Nitrogen Fertilizer
Nitrogen is one of the three elements of agricultural fertilizers. By supplying fertilizers with components that directly fix atmospheric nitrogen using photosynthetic organisms, we will contribute to the spread and development of next-generation agriculture as a new sustainable and organic alternative to chemical fertilizers produced using oil and natural gas, which have been the mainstream in the past. We will also contribute to the greening of desertification zones and the promotion of dry farming.
- Aquaculture Feed
By producing and supplying sustainable aquaculture feed that does not cause destruction of marine resources and ecosystems due to overfishing of natural fish, etc., and that utilizes nutrients synthesized as a result of photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation capabilities of photosynthetic organisms using air as raw material, we will contribute to the spread and promotion of next-generation aquaculture, replacing the conventional “fish by fish” production system.

Our story
Sustainability as the New Normal
In just over a century since the 20th century, we humans have dramatically enriched our lives by finding numerous ways to fully utilize the fossil fuel resources created by our long interaction with the natural world.
While there is no doubt that the petrochemical industry of the 20th century has enriched our lives by providing us with energy for power and petrochemical products, we have become increasingly dependent on the petrochemical industry as it has spread, and mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal have become the “norm” for us human beings. As a result, we have become dependent on petrochemical products that emit greenhouse gases and generate CO2 emissions.
As a result, we have continued to emit large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which has caused global climate change and the accompanying adverse effects on the ecosystems and biodiversity of plants and animals. In addition, the use of environmentally degradable petroleum-derived plastics has become a serious problem. Furthermore, marine pollution caused by environmental runoff of petroleum-derived plastics, which have low environmental degradability, is considered to be a further cause of destruction of marine ecosystems and biodiversity, and a decrease in marine resources.
In exchange for the benefits brought by “20th century style manufacturing,” we have been left behind without solving these global issues until the 21st century, and we believe that it is the common mission of all human beings living today. We believe that we have entered an era in which we must seriously confront and take action toward a better coexistence between the Earth and humankind.
We will develop and spread resource-recycling material production platforms that effectively utilize natural biomass resources and photosynthetic organisms, which have not been fully utilized up to now, and update manufacturing around the world to a form that can be handed down to the next generation. We aim to make sustainable society and industry the new “norm” by developing and promoting a resource-recycling material production platform that effectively utilizes biomass resources and photosynthesis.
