Palm Trunk

Palm Trunk Fuel Converter

NIPPON STEEL ENGINEERING CO., LTD. manufactures biofuels such as pellets and ethanol from the trunks of old oil palm trees, a previously untapped resource. We do this through a process built around our custom-developed sap extractor.

Biomass-to-ethanol Conversion Equipment

NIPPON STEEL ENGINEERING CO., LTD. is engaged in the development of ethanol conversion technology using biomass (cellulose, waste materials) that does not compete with food as a raw material.

Submarine Resources Development

Seafloor Massive Sulfides (SMS) Development

NIPPON STEEL ENGINEERING CO., LTD. participated in the national subsea mining project promoted by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) for seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) and is developing an SMS mining system as a member of the consortium for offshore pilot testing in 2017.

Exploration System for Seafloor Mineral Deposits

NIPPON STEEL ENGINEERING CO., LTD. has been developing highly-efficient exploration systems such as the electromagnetic measurement system towed by ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) in the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP).

Large-scale Open Water Aquaculture System

This is a system consisting of automated feeding equipment and large fish cages which enables fish farming in open ocean regions in which farming was previously impossible.

Modified Coal Manufacturing Technology for Electricity Generation

Reformed Coal Manufacturing Technology for Electricity Generation

NIPPON STEEL ENGINEERING CO., LTD. is advancing low-cost coal reforming technology and its commercialization in order to enable the utilization of low-grade coal as a fuel for electricity generation.
