Using Recycled Carbon as an Energy Source

Japanese page

The IHI Group prevents the release of CO₂ into the atmosphere with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology that captures and separates CO₂ emitted from thermal power plants and other facilities. The captured CO₂ can be mixed with a catalyst and carbon-free hydrogen produced using surplus electricity generated from renewable energy to make methane (CH₄) fuel or olefins, used to make plastic.
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.
