Hokkaido Refinery
Hokkaido Refinery is the northernmost Refinery in Japan, located in Tomakomai City. It began operations in 1973 as a base for supplying energy to Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, and other areas. Hokkaido and other parts of northern Japan require a lot of kerosene and diesel for heating, among other petroleum products. In order to meet these energy needs, Hokkaido Refinery is equipped with a cracking unit. In this way, we are working to increase the production ratio of petroleum products that are in high demand and ensure a stable supply.

Hokkaido limited TV commercial
This film depicts the thoughts and feelings of employees working at Hokkaido Refinery on a daily basis through "invisible letters.'' An "invisible letter" written toward the sky transcends time and connects to the future. In preparation for the day when a newborn baby receives a letter, we created this design with the hope of coexisting with the local environment and protecting the safety and security of the local community through a stable supply of energy.
