For ENEOS,
a mission that can be
and must be accomplished

What can ENEOS do about severe global boiling
“The era of global boiling has arrived.” The United Nations has used these words to express the severity of global warming.
Carbon neutrality that achieves a balance between the emission and absorption of greenhouse gases is a critical and urgent issue for mankind. As a company that supplies 20% of Japan’s primary energy, ENEOS is taking on the challenge of achieving the realization of a carbon-neutral society.
We would like to make next-generation energies such as hydrogen, synthetic fuels, and biofuels into “tomorrow’s normal” while supporting “today’s normal” through a stable supply of energy and materials.
ENEOS is committed to achieving the realization of an energy transition through research and development.
Extraordinary ideas × steady social implementation = new business
I instruct all research members to “pursue eccentric and unconventional research.”
Research and development is a kind of ecosystem. It’s not just a matter of harvesting results—“sowing seeds” and “nurturing seedlings” are also important.
Then, we carefully lead seeds and seedlings born of extraordinary ideas to implementation of results in society.
Central Technical Research Laboratory is pioneering new lines of business from a technological perspective to create new businesses from ENEOS.
Making our assets and mindset developed over many years as powerful tools
It is difficult to begin a new business if you have to build an infrastructure from scratch.
ENEOS possesses assets cultivated through petroleum refining and sales. For example, existing production facilities and supply chains can be appropriated to build a hydrogen infrastructure and implement it smoothly in society at low cost.
Furthermore, through collaboration among the ENEOS Group, we can also reach technologies that will form the basis of a carbon-neutral society, such as renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, and CCS.
In addition, ENEOS employees who have been supporting social infrastructures for many years have the mindset of “focus on customers.”
With the attitude of “providing new value for customers and society,” we are also engaging to achieve carbon neutrality.
For a researcher, a place full of excitement
Working to improve the global environment of the future is a mission with much responsibility, but as a researcher myself, I like to make everyday exciting.
From my perspective, the ENEOS research and development department is packed with interesting themes. It also includes many amazing researchers and eccentric researchers too!
We can accomplish our mission thanks to many fields where the wisdom of diverse researchers intersects and the scale of ENEOS.
At the ENEOS Central Technical Research Laboratory, we look forward to welcoming highly motivated researchers and partners who wish to explore new paths.
