Toshiba Energy Systems Corporation (Head Office: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Mamoru Hatazawa), Toshiba Corporation (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Nobuaki Kurumatani), Toyo Engineering Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiba Prefecture) Narashino City, President and CEO: Haruo Nagamatsu), Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Shunichi Kifuji), All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Hiroshi Hirako), Japan CCS Research Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Toshiro Nakajima) has recently announced that it has announced the release of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into carbon monoxide (CO) *1 P2C using *2 CO from exhaust gas etc. due to process 2 Sustainable Jet Fuel (SAF) *3) We agreed to start considering a business model for carbon recycling.

Going forward, we will leverage the knowledge, technology, plant equipment, etc. of each company to jointly identify issues in the supply chain that supplies SAF and consider future business models. Specifically, the SAF will be manufactured using renewable energy and hydrogen, using CO2 separated and recovered from exhaust gas from industrial facilities, and will be integrated throughout the supply chain from upstream to downstream until the flight. We will consider it.

In Japan, NDC for the Paris Agreement ※Four CO shown in 2 CO 2 Environmental innovations such as separation and storage and Resources recovery, conversion of renewable energy into main power sources, expansion of hydrogen use, and decarbonization of fuels are expected. In addition, in the aviation industry, ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) has established CORSIA (Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). 2 Emission reduction targets have been set, and there is a strong need for stable production and supply of SAF, which is one of the most effective methods for reducing emissions. high CO 2 P2C processes with the ability to reduce CO 2 It is expected to be a next-generation technology for producing SAF using SAF as a raw material.

Each company will jointly consider future business models for the SAF supply chain with the aim of realizing a sustainable society.

  2. P2C: CCU/Power to Chemicals (P2C), a carbon recycling technology, is a technology that uses renewable energy and renewable hydrogen to reuse CO 2 into valuable materials with high environmental value, reducing CO 2 emissions. It will also greatly contribute to the spread and expansion of renewable energy.
  3. SAF: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Jet fuel manufactured from sustainable sources with low CO2 emissions during the process from raw material production and collection to combustion)
  4. Nationally Determined Contribution: Nationally determined greenhouse gas reduction goals and mitigation efforts to achieve them. Japan submitted it to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat in March 2020.
