Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. is Japan’s largest provider of city gas, with a history dating back to its founding in 1885. Headquartered in Tokyo, the company operates an extensive gas distribution network across the Kanto region, serving residential, commercial and industrial customers. Over its long history, Tokyo Gas has expanded its operations beyond traditional gas sales to become a diversified energy and services provider.
At the core of its business, Tokyo Gas procures, processes and supplies natural gas to its customer base. The company operates and maintains a network of pipelines and storage facilities, while also investing in liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals and regasification facilities to secure stable supply. In addition to city gas distribution, Tokyo Gas develops and sells energy-related equipment such as gas appliances, heat pumps and cogeneration systems, and offers energy management and engineering services.
In recent years, Tokyo Gas has pursued growth through power generation, renewable energy projects and smart energy solutions. The company holds stakes in gas-fired power plants and solar and wind projects in Japan and overseas. It also invests in research and development of hydrogen and carbon-recycling technologies as part of its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support Japan’s transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Tokyo Gas is overseen by a board of directors and executive team led by its president and chief executive officer. The company emphasizes safety, reliability and customer service in its operations, and maintains partnerships with domestic and international energy firms to enhance supply security. Through its long-standing presence in the Japanese gas market and its ongoing diversification efforts, Tokyo Gas seeks to deliver energy solutions that meet evolving customer and environmental needs.
