When land reserved for business is being closed, sold or redeveloped by a landowner, it is sometimes necessary to assess for possible subsurface contamination. Our site remediation process begins with a site investigation where we analyse for potential subsurface contamination. If the land is polluted, we provide a remediation solution that delivers field operations to rehabilitate the site so it conforms to all laws and regulations; we also engage in risk communication with stakeholders, including regulators. We use these processes to complete our site remediation programmes.

EnBio Group’s domestic site remediation process is carried out by EnBio Engineering Inc. (EE). EE has experience with construction in several methods, including in situ remediation, which is a method where we rehabilitate contaminated soil without excavating it. EE also uses on-site remediation methods that excavate contaminated soils, purifying it and then burying it again. Using these methods, EE has successfully resolved more than 1000 cases of soil pollution since the company’s establishment.

In addition to the above, we provide our services throughout the world. Today, overseas environmental due diligence and EHS audits are required by more and more companies, banks and private equity funds. We have formed local partnerships in many countries; thus, we can provide our services most anywhere in the world. For example, we have a Chinese subsidiary (EBH China Environmental Science & Technology Inc. (EBHC)) that works to solve soil contamination issues in response to the recent development of laws regarding soil contamination in China, which has led to an increase in demand for soil remediation. Projects to resolve soil contamination issues in China are based on the knowledge and experience we gained from cases in Japan.

A ‘brownfield’ refers to land that cannot be used due to soil contamination. An area is declared a brownfield when the cost of remediation exceeds 30% of its actual value. Due to economic reasons, without the aid of brownfield remediation efforts, the land cannot be used. We have a solution for revitalising these areas through cost-effective technologies developed by our group.

We already have an operational 36.2Mw solar plant in Japan. Now, we are expanding our target market to overseas customers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and several other regions.

Additionally, we are in the process of establishing a new biomass gasification business.
To establish our solar plant business, we worked alongside other companies throughout the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) process. However, with our new biomass gasification plants, we want to take charge of the plant’s operations and the EPC process.

We want to establish water sources in countries and places where people have traditionally struggled due to a lack of water. Our underground water-pumping system is powered by solar energy and serving people in northern Jordan and on the Syrian border. Through this business, we hope to reduce water shortages in these areas and anticipate the potential hiring of Syrian refugees.

At present, a great number of biomass resources are being wasted around the world. We are working to use these wasted resources effectively in our biomass powerplants. We currently have an operational biomass gasification power plant in midwestern Turkey that is fuelled by bird droppings. Through this business, we hope to generate opportunities for local employment while also reducing the amount of waste material by using some of it, which can lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions.

By marketing organic foods, we look to enlighten customers on the opportunities related to sustainable foods. We aim to protect biodiversity and secure sustainable manufacturing processes through these efforts.
