Our Approach for Realization of Carbon Neutrality

  • In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, we will first achieve a 30% reduction in GHG emissions (compared to 2013) by 2030.
  • We will strengthen our in-house technology development system (establishment of the “DX & Carbon Neutral Committee”), integrate the DX technology and technology development for realizing carbon neutrality, and accelerate our initiatives. We will also actively utilize our own photovoltaic modules to reduce GHG.
  • In order to actively promote environmental contribution capital investment including photovoltaic power generation, we will consider the system design of internal carbon pricing (ICP) and put it into practice by the end of fiscal 2022.

Note）Scope 1:Direct emissions from our fuel / process, Scope 2: Indirect emissions from energy of other companies

Inauguration of “DX & Carbon Neutral Committee”

The “DX & Carbon Neutral Committee” established in the Engine of Sustainability Management on April 1, 2022 will combine the DX technology and technology development for realizing carbon neutrality, and will strengthen and accelerate our initiatives for the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Main Technology Development Themes

I. 30% Reduction in GHG emissions (Compared to 2013) by 2030

  1. ①Continuous energy saving in the existing manufacturing process
    Continuing 1% reduction compared to previous year
  2. ②Process innovation (Step-1)
    Converting existing manufacturing processes to more productive processes
  3. ③Fuel conversion of private power generation facilities (Step-1)
    Converting coal to LNG
  4. ④Utilization of renewable energy, purchasing green electricity
    First, promoting the installation of photovoltaic modules on-site and the green power conversion of non-production departments, and then expansion to the green power conversion of production departments and the installation of photovoltaic modules outside the company.

II. Realizing Carbon Neutrality by 2050

  1. ⑤Process innovation (Step-2)
    Development of innovative processes that minimize CO2 emissions
  2. ⑥Fuel conversion of private power generation facilities (Step-2)
    Reduction of CO2 emissions by utilizing hydrogen and ammonia
  3. ⑦Development of technology for CO2 utilization, capture, and fixing
    Production of biodegradable polymers made from CO2 etc.
  4. ⑧Business portfolio transformation
    Mitigating the increase in emissions due to business expansion by reducing the composition ratio of energy-intensive businesses

Familiar CO2 Reduction Initiatives

  • Installation of photovoltaic modules in the factory: 14.3 MW is already in operation.
  • Carbon neutralization of warehouse: In addition to installing photovoltaic modules, we are promoting EV forklift trucks.

Development of Eco-Friendly Products

  • We will contribute to reducing GHG emissions through the development of high-efficiency heat insulating materials, next-generation photovoltaic power generation systems, storage batteries, etc.
