■ An Innovative Technology That Produces Hydrogen and Magnesium Oxide Together

Using magnesium hydride to promote the reaction of magnesium with steam, we have achieved an innovative process that produces hydrogen and magnesium oxide (MgO) at the same time. After the reaction, everything is recovered as MgO and almost no waste is generated, so the environmental impact is extremely low and the process is eligible for carbon credits. This technology also greatly improves profitability.

■ A Stable Supply of High-Purity Magnesium Oxide

At the core of our business model is a stable supply of high-purity magnesium oxide. Demand for high-purity grades is rising year by year, especially in electronic materials, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and these needs are expected to keep growing.

■ Market Expansion Through Cost Performance

The magnesium oxide refining plant we have introduced cuts costs to between one-fifth and one-tenth, bringing down the price of high-purity magnesium oxide, which had stagnated because of high costs. Demand, previously limited to fields such as medicine, building materials and semiconductors, will expand.

A new refining method has dramatically reduced costs

■ Achieving Both High Purity and Low Cost with New Technology

With conventional production methods, however, refining costs rose sharply the higher the purity, making mass production difficult. To overcome this, we developed our own new technology. By introducing an energy-saving, low-impact process, we have achieved both higher purity and lower cost.

■ Refining Plants That Support Reliability and Quality

Our magnesium oxide refining plant maintains consistently high standards from raw material selection and process design to quality control. This allows us to provide highly reliable products to each industry on a stable basis.
