next-generation energies
Fuji Kosan’s Biodiesel Fuel
To be a company supplying
the next generation of liquid energy
We have started supplying biodiesel fuel, a blend of diesel oil and the renewable resource of waste cooking oil. This fuel can be used as a replacement for diesel oil, and also allows reduced CO2 emissions.
In future, we shall contribute to bringing about a low-carbon society by working to supply energy that can reduce as many environmental impacts as possible.
What is Biodiesel Fuel?
Biodiesel fuel is a type of biofuel made using vegetable fats and oils.
It is also an environmentally-friendly source of energy, unlike petroleum and other fossil fuels.
The plants that biofuels are made from absorb atmospheric CO2 as they grow, so the net result is that there is no increase in atmospheric CO2. This lack of net change is what it means to be carbon neutral.
From that perspective, biofuels contribute to two of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) and Climate action (SDG 13).

About Our Initiatives
-
01Performance evaluations and impact verification testing
To investigate the impact of biodiesel fuel on machinery and vehicles and the characteristics of its exhaust gases, we have been carrying out verification testing approved by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry since April 2023 both for large freight vehicles and for construction machinery at major construction sites.
- Started verification testing of Japan’s first high-purity bio diesel, B30 Fuel, using large freight vehicles.
- Determined to start verification testing of B30 Fuel, a high-purity bio diesel, using construction machinery at major construction sites.

02Development of biodiesel fuel production sites
Fuji Kosan aims to be able to supply energy that is environmentally friendly, and increase energy diversity. To that end, we are expanding our biodiesel fuel production sites nationwide, starting with the Kishiwada Plant.
-
03Construction of a supply network
To respond precisely to the diversifying needs of our customers, we are constructing a sales network that connects our branches and our partners, and a distribution network that allows shipping nationwide.
