Using Recycled Carbon as an Energy Source

Japanese page

In order to prevent the release of CO₂ into the atmosphere, the IHI Group is working on Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) activities that captures and separates CO₂ emitted from thermal power plants and other facilities. The captured CO₂ reacts with carbon-free hydrogen produced using renewable energy and is converted into fuels, methane (CH₄) or SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuels), or materials, lower olefins.
Our plan to achieve carbon neutrality in the fuel and feedstock operations is to continue lowering the cost of capturing CO₂, making carbon capture technology widely available, and acquiring catalyst technology and developing processes for synthesizing fuels and chemical feedstock. We will also acquire next-generation water electrolysis technology to produce hydrogen, and co-electrolysis technology of water and CO₂ to produce valuable substances as we build a business to supply electrolysis and valuable resource conversion equipment. In addition, we are advancing toward practical application of technology that directly captures CO₂ from the atmosphere.
