CO₂ separation and capture technology to support the realization of a carbon neutral society

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation

CO₂ separation and capture technology is technology that separates, captures, stores, and utilizes CO₂ emitted from factories, thermal power plants, and elsewhere before it is released into the atmosphere (CCUS: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage). By introducing such technology, it is possible to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation has started the demonstrated operation of a facility that separates and captures CO₂ at the Mikawa Power Plant (Omuta, Fukuoka) of Sigma Power Ariake Corporation in October 2020.

The Mikawa Power Plant generates biomass power that uses coconut shells as its main source of fuel and the world's first large scale BECCS (biomass power generation with CCS) facility, which separates and captures CO₂ emitted from the biomass power plant. Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation has been conducting demonstrative operation of the plant to go beyond carbon neutral into the realm of carbon negative.
