LCA Environment
Visualizing Environmental Value, Supporting a Decarbonized Society Through Manufacturing.
We want to hand down to our children a future free from the threat of global warming. Beyond our own efforts, we are working toward the decarbonization of society—transforming our supply chain into a value chain that creates environmental value.
Our employee-led “Environmental Business Team” leads the promotion of life cycle assessment (LCA). We quantify CO₂ emissions across the entire life cycle of our products, from raw material procurement through manufacturing, use, and disposal, and use these figures to drive improvement. In 2024, we received the LCA Japan Forum Encouragement Award.
MISSION
Supporting the Infrastructure of a Decarbonized Society with One-of-a-Kind Technology.
Osaka Blower's Four Missions
Environmental Vision
Toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Osaka Blower is working to reduce environmental impact through both its products and its organization. Looking beyond our own manufacturing, we take into view the entire supply chain—from procurement through manufacturing, transportation, use, and maintenance—and aim to be a company that, together with our customers and society, creates a value chain that generates "environmental value."
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System
As Japan's only manufacturer of marine EGR blowers, Osaka Blower contributes to reducing exhaust emissions from marine engines.
EGR blowers recirculate a portion of the exhaust gas to suppress NOₓ emissions, supporting maritime transport that complies with international environmental regulations.
Advancing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
We carry out LCA to visualize the environmental impact of our products, from raw material procurement through manufacturing, use, and disposal.By quantifying CO₂ emissions and using the data to drive improvements, we promote manufacturing that achieves both environmental performance and quality.
Contributing to Decarbonization
Osaka Blower uses LCA to visualize environmental impacts, contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society by improving the efficiency of its products and reducing their energy consumption.
Building on the technology we have refined over more than 100 years since our founding, we are expanding our activities beyond the industrial sector into the field of next-generation energy. In new areas that support the realization of a decarbonized society, such as hydrogen production equipment and fuel cell-related products, we will continue to draw on our technological capabilities as a blower manufacturer and take on the challenge of manufacturing that creates environmental value.
WHAT IS LCA ？
What Is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
Osaka Blower Mfg Co., Ltd. works to reduce environmental impacts from an LCA perspective, contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
LCA is a method for quantitatively assessing environmental impacts across a product's entire life cycle, from raw material procurement through manufacturing, transportation, use, maintenance, and disposal and recycling.
Our Solution
As Japan's Only Manufacturer of EGR Fans
Osaka Blower is the only company in Japan to manufacture exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) fans that comply with these regulations. With a domestic patent, Osaka Blower supplies these fans for environmentally compliant NOx reduction systems for mid-size vessels through long-term partnerships with major engine manufacturers.
