- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「The company also aims to achieve the fiscal 2030 milestone target of 370,000 tonnes of emissions, a 50% reduction, by switching electricity consumption, primarily at overseas sites, to renewable energy and installing solar power generation capacity at manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas. It is also advancing the development of ceramics firing technologies using carbon-neutral fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, gas separation membranes, and DAC for directly capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, as well as demonstration testing of methanation to reuse CO2.」
Based on its fiscal 2025 reduction results, the company continues measures toward the fiscal 2030 target of 370,000 tonnes, including renewable energy, solar power, hydrogen and ammonia, DAC, and methanation. - 2026-05-28ReframedManagement planning
「CN領域は市場環境を見極めながら、将来に向けた種まきへと軸足を移します。」
カーボンニュートラル領域について、短期の事業拡大よりもビジネスモデル設計・社会実装に向けた準備へ軸足を移している。 - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「To achieve its targets ahead of schedule, the company is advancing the development of ceramics firing technologies using carbon-neutral fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, gas separation membranes, DAC (Direct Air Capture: direct air capture of CO2 from the atmosphere), and demonstration testing of methanation to reuse CO2. It is also developing carbon-neutral-related products and services, including their application within the group.」
The company has further specified measures to reduce environmental impact and develop related products, including hydrogen and ammonia fuels, gas separation membranes, DAC, and methanation demonstrations. - FY2024SoftenedAnnual report
「The company aims to achieve its target by switching all electricity used at overseas sites to renewable energy by fiscal 2025 and installing a total of 32 megawatts of solar power generation capacity at manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas.」
While continuing to switch all electricity used at overseas sites to renewable energy, the planned solar power generation capacity has been reduced from the previously stated total of 40 megawatts to 32 megawatts. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「By fiscal 2025, the company plans to switch all electricity used at overseas sites to renewable energy and install a total of 40 megawatts of solar power generation capacity at manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas. To achieve its targets ahead of schedule, it has also begun developing technologies related to CCU and CCS, including ceramics firing equipment using carbon-neutral fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, CO2 separation membranes, and DAC (Direct Air Capture).」
The company is advancing specific environmental measures, including switching all electricity to renewable energy, 40 megawatts of solar power capacity, hydrogen and ammonia, CCU and CCS, and DAC. - FY2022RaisedAnnual report
「To achieve its targets ahead of schedule, the company will promote the development, in-house implementation, and provision of products and services related to hydrogen, ammonia, CCU and CCS (carbon capture, utilization and storage), and renewable energy. As part of these initiatives, the company plans to switch all electricity used at its overseas sites to renewable energy by fiscal 2025. As a result, approximately 60% of the group's electricity consumption is expected to come from renewable energy by fiscal 2025, and the company aims to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 330,000 tonnes annually.」
The company has expanded its existing environmental impact reduction policy into a plan incorporating hydrogen, ammonia, CCU/CCS, renewable energy products, and renewable power at overseas sites, together with targets for the fiscal 2025 renewable energy ratio and CO2 reductions. - FY2021RaisedAnnual report
「The company aims to reduce CO2 emissions generated by the group through the introduction of high-efficiency equipment, enhanced energy conservation through process improvements, switching to fuels such as hydrogen, and expanded use of renewable energy through NAS® batteries and zinc secondary batteries, including ZNB®.」
In addition to its existing CO2 and other emissions reduction and environmentally beneficial product expansion initiatives, the company identifies high-efficiency equipment, process improvements, switching to fuels such as hydrogen, and the use of NAS and ZNB as specific reduction measures. - FY2017RestatedAnnual report
「At all sites and in all processes where the group conducts business activities, the company will take the initiative in reducing environmental impact and contribute to the preservation of the global environment.」
The company continues to describe reductions in environmental impact at all sites and across all processes, together with increased sales of environmentally beneficial products. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「The company will primarily link its New Manufacturing Structural Innovation initiative with reductions in environmental impact, work to reduce CO2 emissions and other emissions on a global scale, and seek to increase sales of environmentally beneficial products that contribute to a better social environment, including products related to automotive exhaust-gas purification, NAS® batteries, and low-level radioactive waste treatment equipment.」
The company states that it will link manufacturing innovation with reductions in environmental impact and expand sales of environmentally beneficial products.
