We are pleased to announce that the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has selected our pre-demonstration study on the introduction of regenerative burners for hot rolling furnaces in the Republic of India as a new theme for its "International Energy Consumption Efficiency Technology and System Demonstration Project.
With the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and NEDO, we will conduct various studies on the introduction of regenerative burners to furnaces in India with the cooperation of JSW Steel Limited (Maharashtra, India: President Sajjan Jindal), the target of the study, for about one year. After the feasibility study is approved, the actual equipment will be delivered to the customer.
The Regenerative Burner (our company name "Regenerative Burner") is a technology that was jointly developed in the 1990s by Japanese industrial furnace and burner manufacturers and heating furnace users with the support of the then Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). It is a combustion technology that achieves both significant energy savings and reduction of NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions by utilizing the phenomenon of lean combustion with high-temperature air, which gave birth to a new combustion theory.
Since 1994, we have developed systems for various types of facilities and have already delivered more than approximately 2,000 sets of systems in Japan and overseas.

In India, energy conservation awareness has been increasing year by year against the backdrop of declining energy self-sufficiency due to a sharp increase in energy demand in recent years and the PAT (Perform, Achieve and Trade) system that came into effect in 2012. The "Japan-India Energy Dialogue" at the ministerial level and the "Japan-India Steel Public-Private Cooperation Meeting" led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have been held, and energy conservation measures for India continue to be discussed across the borders between the public and private sectors. (This technology is one of the "Customized Technology List" developed at the Japan-India Public-Private Cooperation Meeting on Steel led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
With the cooperation of NEDO, we exhibited for the first time as a member of the Japan Pavilion at India REI 2013, an exhibition specializing in renewable energy and energy conservation in India, in September 2013, and explained this technology. In October and January 2014, we welcomed about 30 trainees from India to our combustion laboratory to experience this technology as part of the energy conservation technology training program requested by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). We intend to use the research for the demonstration as a starting point to establish a firm position in the energy-saving market in the Indian steel industry over the medium to long term.
