Decarbonization solutions by MHI Group's CCUS value chain
Contributing to carbon neutrality through MHI's strength ~CO₂ Capture, LCO₂ Carrier, CO₂ Compressor, etc.~
To achieve decarbonized society, it is necessary to have both "CO₂ reduction" and "CO₂ recovery" activities. Even if CO₂ emissions are reduced in various ways, there are industrial sectors where CO₂ emissions are inevitable in order to continue economic and social activities. To recover CO₂ in these sectors, it is necessary to capture, transportation, recycle, and storage emitted CO₂ (CCUS). Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group has a wide range of products and services that make up CCUS, such as CO₂ Capture System, CO₂ Liquefaction System, Liquefied CO₂ Carrier, and CO₂ Compressor. Through the provision of these decarbonization solutions, we will contribute to the early realization of carbon neutrality by establishing CCUS value chain.

High-efficient inverter air conditioners which contribute to 50% energy savings
Inverter technology offers significant energy savings for air conditioners, which use 10% of the world's electricity.
The G7 and G20 highlighted the importance of enhanced energy efficiency as the “first fuel” to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. Currently, Air Conditioners(AC) account for about 10% of the world’s total electricity demand, but development in emerging countries has been increasing energy demand for AC on average 4% per year. High-efficient inverter AC precisely controls the rotation speed of the air conditioner compressor in line with ambient conditions to reduce power consumption. While the ratio of inverter AC has reached nearly 100% in markets such as Japan and Europe, such levels are still low in the whole world. Through this exhibition, we will introduce you of the potential of inverter AC for decarbonization and the advantages of Daikin's high-efficient inverter AC.

"RePEaT PROCESS" for PET Chemical Recycling
RePEaT PROCESS performs de-polymerization and purification of PET, which enables production of virgin equivalent PET
Polyester (PET) is one of the major polymer which has been used widely, such as, plastic bottle, food package, fiber and film. RePEaT PROCESS de-composes the PET into minimum molecule unit, called monomer, then performs purification. These process enables removal of impurities and dye staff contained in the feedstock, and therefore, it is possible to produce virgin equivalent R-PET. RePEaT PROCESS is commercially proven and will contributes to reduce the fossil resource consumption because the process is useful to recycle products which are difficult to handle by mechanical recycling due to the impurities and its color.
JGC group provides the RePEaT PROCESS all over the world as a license package through the joint venture company RePEaT Co., Ltd. founded by JGC HD, TEIJIN and ITOCHU. -

Digital Transformation to accelerate Adaptation Finance for Climate Change
Quantitatively assess the validity of disaster mitigation and the environmental value of disaster preparation to respond to intensify disasters, to encourage the flow of private sector funds into adaptation
To achieve carbon neutrality, it's important to control CO2 emissions generated as a result of disaster recovery. To this end, it's desirable to increase the inflow of not only public funds but also private-sector funds to promote the adaptation projects to cope with extreme weather. Therefore, we'll create and globally disseminate "Digital Transformation to accelerate Adaptation Finance for Climate Change," a financial scheme to attract private-sector funds for adaptation projects, based on the advanced efforts and disaster prevention solutions of Japan, a disaster-prone country. Specifically, we'll create a mechanism to visualize the disaster prevention and environmental value of adaptation projects prior to their introduction by utilizing wide-area sensing technology, digital twin technology, etc., and convert them into economic value (premium) that is attractive to investors.
