Natural Resources / Fuels

As demand for electricity rises due to green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX) initiatives, the need for a stable and sustainable energy supply has become more prominent. This has increased demand for LNG and other transition fuels, as well as mineral resources like copper and rare metals that support renewable energy projects. Accordingly, upstream development and supply chain reinforcement have gained renewed focus. Further, the utilization of e-scrap and the exploration of methane hydrate and submarine mineral resources are being promoted to improve energy self-sufficiency.
