[Kawasaki Heavy Industries is constructing a "device that collects CO2 from the air" at its Kobe factory as part of its decarbonization efforts!]

Kawasaki Heavy Industries (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo) has begun constructing new experimental equipment at its Kobe factory in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, to "capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air." This equipment is scheduled to be completed in October 2025.
The aim of this initiative is to efficiently collect not only the exhaust gases emitted from factories and power plants but also the very small amounts of CO2 present in the air around us. If successful, this technology is expected to help reduce CO2, which is a cause of global warming.
CO2 Recovery from Factory Emissions
At the Kobe factory, in addition to the DAC (Direct Air Capture) system for collecting CO2 from the air, they will also experiment with a method called PCC (Post-Combustion Capture) to capture CO2 from the exhaust of the gas engine power plant located within the factory. This method also applies KCC technology.
Expectations for the Future
This demonstration facility will be constructed on a larger scale based on experimental results from power plants in Japan and the United States. If successful, it is anticipated that larger facilities and applications around the world will follow in the future.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries aims to contribute to the prevention of global warming with this new technology.
