Next page shows how we plan to promote the business by fusing the energy and the environment. Due to the global warming and the high energy prices, we believe that this market of energy and environmental will expand and diversify. This graph shows the value chain of energies. The vertical axis shows the flow of energy. From the top you see fuel conversion of energy and the use of energy. Horizontal axis shows the energy conversion and the load on the environment.
On the right hand side we are showing you the measures to deal with the pollutant, which would be generated through the energy conversion. For example in this value chain, using the natural gas, as you follow the red line you see the gas turbine combined cycle is used to generate, convert the energy, and blue line shows the electricity. And brown line shows the de-nitration and CO2 recovery and storage from the flue gas. And you see the gas to liquid, or GTL. And this can be used as a new alternative energy for the automobile.
In this energy value chain, in the parentheses, you see our business headquarters and we have various products and technologies. We would enhance those products and technologies, and combine them so that we can expand the new solution businesses. In order to do this, in April this year, we established the sustainability, energy and environment strategic planning department so that we can make further growth in the energy and environmental businesses.
I do not understand everything that is detailed here however, I am impressed with the direction that they are taking, the strategic planning and the establishment of a new department to deal with this. They have detailed their CSR strategy which revolves around producing products beneficial to society and the environment and spreading the culture within the organization.
