Frontline Topics
- Smart industrial complexes
- Build highly profitable next-generation plants with DX that boast high profits, high reliability, flexible production planning, safety, low costs, and advanced operation and maintenance activities.
- Carbon recycling
- Drive a paradigm shift in reducing CO2 emissions by recognizing CO2 as a resource and reusing it for energy and materials.
Issues
- Digital twins
- How to create the existing plants as 3D virtual plants, and realize highly accurate simulations of operations and maintenances.
- Next-generation CBM
- Beyond the transition to CBM, how to accurately measure the status of facilities using sensors, AI, etc. and predict the appropriate repair timing.
- CCUS
- How to capture, use and store CO2 in the atmosphere separately.
- Bio-crude oil & bio-naphtha
- Pursuit more reduction of CO2 emissions in the upper-most stream of industrial supply chains by manufacturing crude oil and naphtha derived from plant, industrial waste, and CO2.
- Seven colors of hydrogen
- How to produce and utilize various colors of hydrogen (green, blue, yellow, etc.) expected as the vanguard toward a low-carbon world.
Cases
- Strategy - New Business -
- Assessing market entry options in biofuel manufacturing
With biofuel suppliers emerging worldwide, we assessed which biofuels could be profitable by taking advantage of clients' strengths and developed a business model.
- Strategy - New Business -
- Detailing CCUS business opportunities
We identified business opportunities for CCUS monetization and CO2 reduction that could be deployed domestically, referring to overseas case studies.

After conducting a diagnosis of the status quo of the client's stations which have problems with business efficiency and promotion, we developed improvement measures and a roadmap for implementation.
- Digital - O&M -
- Implementing digital twins
We defined the requirements for the most cost-effective digital twins, taking into account technical problems and change management perspectives, and developed roadmaps to implementation.
- Digital - DX Acceleration -
- Setting up new processes, systems and structure for DX acceleration
We comprehensively reviewed and designed the incentives, use case selection processes, IT infrastructures, and organizational structures that serve as the infrastructure for promoting DX.
- Operation - Procurement -
- Implementing global material procurement strategies
Taking into account geopolitical risks and other factors, we revised the client's current supplier portfolio and optimized contracting methods with a view of stable and inexpensive procurement.
