COP3 requires CO2 reduction by 6% in 2010 from 1990 levels By 2010, 10% reduction in unit energy consumption at refineries from 1990 levels
By 2008, 20% reduction in unit energy consumption at refineries from 1990 levels
IKC’s Policy
IKC exerts its best effort to maintain and improve the environment and contributes to the society.
(1) Energy conservation Activity until 1998
・Extensive energy saving was performed in each unit of each refinery. ・This approach had reached the saturation and activity got stagnant.
(2) Current energy conservation activity
・All-company base activity to replace each refinery base ・Improvement of management
- Strict watch of energy consumption of each unit and whole refinery - Hare of the idea and the theme by staffs of all refineries, and
application to all refineries

- New engine(Direct Injection / Lean burn) are promising technologies for fuel consumption improvement.
- NOx reduction catalyst for lean burn engine tends to be poisoned by sulfur in Gasoline.
- Idemitsu and other Japanese oil companies started supplying sulfur free gasoline in January 2005.
- Three years in advance of Government regulation
Greenhouse gas (CO2) reduction target has been set at COP3
Sulfur free gasoline (S=10ppm or less) is required for
better performance of New-engine.
