Our Initiative
Solving Waste and Energy Challenges through Biofuel Production
GreenX produces renewable biofuels using discarded resources such as coconuts and cellulosic wheat straw as raw materials.
Through our proprietary patented technology, we have established a highly efficient production process that significantly reduces energy consumption and contributes to lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional manufacturing methods.
By collaborating with universities and research institutions both in Japan and overseas, GreenX is advancing the development of a sustainable energy society.
Utilization of unused resources

Unused coconuts
Approximately 30% of the coconuts produced in the world are
Coconuts that are not suitable for consumption due to reasons such as immaturity, cracking, or sprouting are discarded as "unused coconuts."
Green X utilizes this unused resource as a fuel source.
cellulosic biomass
As unused coconuts alone cannot provide a sufficient amount of fuel, the following cellulose resources are also utilized:
Corn leaves and cobs
sugarcane residue
Rice straw and wheat straw
Waste paper, wood, etc.
Cellulosic waste
Products
BDF (Biodiesel Fuel)
A renewable fuel produced from waste-derived lipids
Ready for direct use in diesel trucks, generators, and other diesel-powered equipment
Significantly reduces CO₂ emissions compared to fossil fuels
Gaining attention as a locally circular energy solution
SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)
A next-generation fuel supporting decarbonization in the aviation industry
Quality and performance assured through joint research with Osaka Metropolitan University
Superior environmental performance compared to conventional aviation fuels
GreenX holds rare production capabilities that remain limited within Japan
Applications
Decarbonization of logistics and transportation companies
Waste reduction initiatives led by local governments
SAF adoption by airlines
Collaborative research with universities and research institutions
Attention to ingredients and manufacturing methods
A. Selection of raw materials (optimization of reaction conditions)
We use non-edible waste resources with a low environmental impact as raw materials (e.g. coconut oil, cellulose, etc.).
In addition, the reaction conditions for the conventional method and our "co-solvent method" are compared, emphasizing that the reaction can be achieved at low temperatures and in a short time.

B. Selection of manufacturing method (characteristics of the co-solvent method)
By adopting our unique "co-solvent method," we have achieved the following manufacturing benefits.
