The IEA says that net-zero targets must quickly turn into real-world action.
To reach our long-term climate goals, governments need to move fast to implement policies that canput global emissions into sustained decline in the coming years.
CCUS/Carbon recycling is one of the solutions to reduce GHG emissions.

CCS is a necessity based on IEA estimation.
In 2050, CCS quantity is assumed as 120 ～ 240 million ton in Japan.
In order to start CCS in 2030, FS is started in 2023, and FID will be necessary in 2026.

Carbon Recycling Overview

Carbon Recycling: Considering CO2 as a resource, capture CO2 and reuse it for concrete etc.
by mineralization, for chemicals by artificial photosynthesis etc. and for fuel by methanation etc.
to reduce CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere.

3.1 CO₂ capturing and related technology◆ CO2 capture is a first step for Carbon Recycling system and reduction of its cost is critical for CR
implementation.
◆ Finding cost and energy efficient method better than chemical absorption is the way of R&D in thisfield.
Higher cost

3.1 CO2 Capture◆NEDO aimed to lower costs and expand scale by developing a massive synthesis method formaterials and conducting a bench-scale test using a moving-bed system since FY2018.
◆Through a pilot-scale test at Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc’s Maizuru Power Plant, which wasstarted up in 2023, NEDO aims to put technology for capturing CO₂ with solid sorbents into
practical use.

3.2 CO2 Transportation◆For the purpose of the safe and efficient transportation of CO₂ emitted from factories andthermal power plants for carbon recycle or CCS, NEDO will develop the integrated
transportation system (CO₂ liquefaction, ship, transportation and tank storage) under
optimal temperature and pressure conditions.
◆1,000 tons of liquified CO₂ vessel will be constructed and verifies above technical aspects.

3.3 CO2 Storage -Tomakomai CCUS Demonstration Project◆ To demonstrate the viability of a full-chain CCS system, from CO2 capture to injection and storage inHokkaido.
◆ CO2 was captured from Exhaust gas of Existing Oil Refinery.
◆ CO2 was injected to two reservoirs, Moebetsu formation(1000-1200m), Takinoue formation(2400-3000m).
◆ 300,000 tons of CO2 was injected offshore reservoir in Tomakomai, one of large port city in Hokkaido.
