About this page

This page presents a consultation case released by the Japan Fair Trade Commission on February 15, 2024. Five companies at the Shunan petrochemical complex in Yamaguchi Prefecture (Idemitsu Kosan, Tosoh, Tokuyama, Nippon Steel Stainless Steel, and Nippon Zeon) received approval that their joint activities toward carbon neutrality achieve no antitrust violations. Key initiatives include joint ammonia-fueled power generation facilities, conversion to bio-based chemical materials, and CO2 capture and reuse. The FTC emphasizes that business efforts toward a green society typically promote competition and benefit consumers, thus generally raising no antitrust concerns.
