Realization of energy conservation through advanced use of natural gas
Initiatives at the Kawasaki Energy Center of the Natural Gas Department
The SAN-AI OBBLI Natural Gas Department has established the Kawasaki Energy Center within ANA Town Business Center of All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. to provide heat and electricity using a natural gas cogeneration system. Cogeneration systems use natural gas to supply steam, hot water, etc. at the same time as power generation. Supplying the most appropriate energy to meet the needs of customers, such as electricity, steam, and cold and hot water, makes it possible to minimize energy loss and maximize energy-saving efficiency.
The Kawasaki Energy Center has introduced this system for 10 years, but we have maintained high energy efficiency by implementing appropriate maintenance and operation management.
Improvement of business efficiency and reduction of environmental impact through the introduction of LPWA
Initiatives of the Gas Division
In May 2020, the SAN-AI OBBLI Gas Division began using LPWA to introduce an automated meter reading system. We will promote work style reforms by improving operational efficiency, and contribute to the reduction of environmental impact by improving safety and reducing the fuel consumption of delivery vehicles.
※LPWA(Low Power Wide Area): Generic term for wireless communication technology that can realize long-distance communication with low power consumption
Reduction of environmental impact through SAF receiving and refueling
Aviation Business Division
The SAN-AI OBBLI Aviation Business cooperates with the receiving and refueling of SAF that emit less CO2. As the airlines as a whole are tackling climate-change, SAF is being introduced and disseminated by airlines worldwide. We are engaged in the efforts of airlines to reduce environmental impact in the process of receiving fuel, quality control, and refueling aircraft.
