Providing Services
The Kanematsu Group boasts a history that extends back more than 130 years to its founding in 1889.
We operates our businesses to develop new businesses by providing a broad array of products and services
in diverse fields such as electronics and devices, foods, meat and grain, steel, materials and plant, and motor
vehicles and aerospace through the organic integration of domestic and international business networks,
expertise acquired in each business area, and the functions of a trading company, including commodities
trading, information gathering, market exploration, business development and organization, risk
management, and distribution.

Project Achievement／Technical Expertise
The Steel, Materials & Plant Division develops project-forming businesses that contribute to regional economicdevelopment, beginning with infrastructure projects in various countries. Accordingly, the division focuses onoff- shore investment programs that support globalized production by Japanese manufacturers andconcentrates the strengths of each Group company in order to propose new environmental and energy
solutions. We are developing high-value-added products with customers in areas that include environmentfriendly items in the steel and chemical sectors as well as pharmaceuticals and health food ingredients that
help counter the effects of Japan’s aging society.
Reducing GHG Emissions Using the Joint Crediting Mechanism
Using the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) to promote the use of energy-saving andrenewable energy technologies in developing countries, Kanematsu installed an energysaving cardboard recycling system at a paper plant in Indonesia in 2014 and high-efficiency
electrolysis tanks at a chlorine production plant in Saudi Arabia in 2015. Based on theseprojects, we issue credits. Kanematsu KGK Corp. has also implemented solar power
generation projects in Thailand and Vietnam, and commenced a solar power generationand storage project in Thailand’s Suphan Buri Province in 2021. To date, the Group has
implemented eight JCM projects that are expected to achieve an approximately 90,000 tCO2 annual total reduction in GHG emissions.
Going forward, we will continue to look for new opportunities to apply the JCM frameworkand contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
Renewable Energy Business Expansion
Kanematsu has been working to expand the scale of its business in biomass energy forsome time. In this area, the volume of palm kernel shells we handle has grown steadily.
Going forward, we will expand our lineup of pellets and other products, aiming to replace
one third of all the fuel we sell with biomass energy.
In the plant business, we are increasing our opportunities to engage in such renewableenergy businesses as solar and wind power generation. Until recently, these efforts havecentered on overseas initiatives using the JCM, but we are advancing a wind power
generation project in Japan that came online in May 2022. Going forward, we will continue
to draw on our accumulated insight to expand the renewable energy business.
