EXHIBITION EXHIBITORS

JAXA began satellite Earth observation in the 1980s, and over the years has acquired data on the global environment, including land areas such as forests, which are sinks for GHGs; ocean areas such as polar sea ice and sea surface temperature; and the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Currently, JAXA is operating six satellites. The satellite provide information using long-term, wide-area observation data, which is one of the satellite's features, and will contribute to providing scientific evidence in the Global Stocktake process. In addition, since the satellite conducts global observations, it will also provide scientific evidence on emissions in the realization of a "decarbonized society" in each country and region.

SPACECOOL®, a zero-energy radiative sky cooling material, uses optical control technology to suppress heat input from sunlight while releasing heat into outer space through an atmospheric window, thereby maintaining temperatures below ambient air even under direct sunlight without consuming any energy. When used in living and transportation spaces, it reduces the environmental burden caused by air conditioning and creates comfortable spaces by controlling internal temperatures. In this exhibition, we are showing the effects of SPACECOOL as a measure against energy conservation and global warming, such as a 20% improvement in cooling efficiency in a prefab house, and propose solutions for "heat" using tents made of our materials and our products to prevent heat stroke.

Our Carbon-Recycled Concrete, prepared with calcium carbonate produced by reacting calcium with CO₂ captured from the atmosphere and the exhaust gases as well as large amount of ground granulated blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, has achieved carbon-negative.
While this concrete maintains the same strength and workability as ordinary concrete, we have been able to prevent rebars from being corroded and to secure the durability of building structures, thus our Carbon-Recycled Concrete can contribute to the early realization of carbon neutrality.

Buildings located in the urban metropolitan areas usually have small rooftop areas, and as a result the capacity of power generated by solar photovoltaic panels installed there is limited. On the other hand, we also have an issue that, from the design perspective, it is also limited to install solar photovoltaic panels onto large-scale facades of the buildings. Therefore, Taisei Corporation and Kaneka Corporation have jointly developed the building integrated photovoltaics panel "T-Green Multi Solar" with an excellence in design that can be installed on facades (window and wall surfaces) with great power generation potential, and we continue our contribution to the improvement of the Energy Generation of the buildings.

Realizing carbon neutrality requires technology that makes effective use of the CO₂ we cannot eliminate.
One example is the aviation industry’s growing need for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to align with the global decarbonization movement.
Toshiba Group is advancing development and social implementation of P2C: the use of renewable energy and hydrogen to convert CO₂ into valuable chemicals.
Supported by Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan, we are developing a practicalscale CO₂ electrolyzer that produces CO, a raw material for chemical products.
Our artificial photosynthesis technology delivers the world‘s highest conversion rate,and capacity increases will be secured by stacking cells and applying fuel cell manufacturing technology.
Toshiba Group aims to produce SAF, while considering wider applications, such as e-fuels and chemical products.

The mobility industry is accelerating moves toward CO₂ reductions. For instance, the aviation industry is looking at using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in order to become carbon neutral by 2050. But fuel alone is not enough. Aircraft systems as whole must evolve.

Toshiba Group has applied its long-cultivated superconducting and manufacturing technologies to a high-speed rotating machine. The result is a prototype for the world's first lightweight, compact, high-power superconducting motor, with high-speed rotation and a maximum output of 2 MW. It is less than one-tenth the weight and size of a conventional motor. We will contribute to a carbon-neutral society by reducing the weight and accelerating efforts for implementation.

MHI has various low-carbon and decarbonization technologies to ensure a smooth energy transition all over the world. One of the ultimate technologies is a hydrogen gas turbine.

The development of 30% hydrogen co-firing has already been completed, 50% co-firing has been successfully tested, and 100% firing will be verified by 2025. Based on these validation results, we will promote the social implementation of hydrogen power generation worldwide.

For example, in Utah, United States, we are participating in the Advanced Clean Energy Storage Project, which stores green hydrogen in salt caverns and supplies the hydrogen to gas turbines depending on electricity demand and supply. Through these PJs, we will build an integrated hydrogen ecosystem from production to storage, supply and utilization.

To realize carbon neutrality, there is a need to simultaneously reduce and capture emitted CO₂.

We need effort to reduce amount of CO₂ by various methods. However, some industrial fields will be hard to reach a point of zero CO₂ emission to sustain our economy and society.

It is for the reason that actions is required in containing the emitted anthropogenic CO₂ through technology. Specifically, the development of CCUS value chain is essential.
MHI Group has neccessary technologies for CCUS, including capturing, transporting and compressing CO₂. In addition, CO₂NNEX as a digital platform collaborated with IBM will also accelerate the establishment of CCUS value chain.

By these solutions, MHI group aims to help achieve "NET ZERO" under our vision of "Solving CO₂ for Good".

Sanitary and appropriate waste disposal and management is an urgent issue in many countries, including developing countries. Waste to Energy is not only treats waste hygienically, but also enables to generat electricity utilizing the waste heat during processing. This technology helps break away from power generation using fossil fuels, and can also contribute to stabilizing the concentration of GHG, which is the ultimate goal of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Compared to other renewable energy technologies, the amount of CO₂ reduction per project is large, and in the example of a JCM adopted project, an estimated annual GHG emission reduction of approximately 41,804 t-CO₂/eq is expected due to the waste treatment of 500 tons per day.
