「Compared with Japan’s average soybean yield of 169 kg per tan in 2023, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ Crop Statistics, our research to date has achieved a yield of approximately 3 times higher per crop (Note 1). In the future, we aim to complete a soybean plant factory that can highlight greenhouse gas reductions through CCU (Note 2) and to develop plant-based foods using the soybeans grown there.」
Soybean cultivation using waste heat and CO2 from a waste incineration facility achieved experimental yields approximately 3 times the average, and the Company aims to develop a CCU-based plant factory and foods using the soybeans grown there.
