Hanwa Co., Ltd.

Stable Supply of Biomass Fuel

Achieve a society based on renewable energy

Accelerate a circular society

Hanwa is working in the business of biomass fuels, sources of renewable energy.
Most of the biomass fuels we handle are woody—palm kernel shells (PKS) and wood pellets—, and we are number one in Japan for the volume of imported PKS. We have taken steps for stable supply, including chartering a transport ship in 2019.
We are also involved in a wood pellet manufacturing plantation business in Indonesia, and it is scheduled to start supplying in 2022.

We have been certified to RSB (indicating sustainability in the manufacture and the entire distribution chain of biomass fuels) and GGL (indicating sustainability and traceability of biomass fuels) since 2020.
We are also in the business of using our know-how to help others become certified. Some services we provide are assisting in creating the documents required for application and internal auditing, providing training on the standard required for each certification, and instructing how to calculate the amount of greenhouse gases emitted.
