Industrial fuels
We sell a wide range of products manufactured from crude oil through distribution channels other than service stations. For example, we supply diesel oil mainly to public transport operators and logistics companies. Kerosene and fuel oil A are now not only used for heating, but are more increasingly supplied to cogeneration systems at plants and hospitals. fuel oil C is used as a heat source for boilers at thermal power stations and plants and also as fuel for large marine vessels.
LPG
The former General Sekiyu (now TonenGeneral Sekiyu) was the first Japanese company to import LPG products from the Middle East, paving the way for increased LPG consumption in Japan. Kawasaki, Sakai and Wakayama Refineries are the main centers for supplying LPG to bottling terminals and industrial plants nationwide.
Kawasaki and Sakai Refineries, both located close to major markets, have their own import terminals, contributing to a stable supply of LPG.
Marine fuel
We have supply bases in Tokyo and Osaka bays, Japan's two key bay areas. These bases provide a stable supply of high-grade fuels produced at the Group's adjacent refineries. Our quality control team strives to maintain consistent product quality.
Aviation fuel
The Group provides high-quality aviation fuels and customer services. Along with excellent airport operation, we supply aviation fuels, mainly jet fuel, to major Japanese and foreign airlines and public authorities.
