Niterra Co., Ltd., Hitachi Plant Services Co., Ltd. and Koatsu Gas Kogyo Co., Ltd. will launch a demonstration test covering the separation and recovery, liquefaction and sale of CO2 emitted from factories, establishing an integrated system aimed at beginning the demonstration in October 2026 and commercial services in April 2027.
The 3 companies announced that they will begin a demonstration test in October covering the separation and recovery, liquefaction and sale of CO2 emitted from factories. Following their previous joint studies, they will integrate the recovery, liquefaction and supply chain operations to promote local utilization.
The scope of the partnership includes the sale, deployment and installation in Japan of CO2 separation and recovery equipment and liquefied CO2 production modules, the purchase, transportation and sale of liquefied CO2, and proposal activities for companies that emit CO2 and companies that will use it.
Niterra Co., Ltd. will be responsible for the separation and recovery equipment, Hitachi Plant Services Co., Ltd. for the liquefaction equipment and deployment, and Koatsu Gas Kogyo Co., Ltd. for the purchase, transportation and sale of liquefied CO2.
Under the roadmap, the companies will begin a demonstration test at the Komaki Plant in October 2026, with plans to recover, liquefy and sell approximately 2,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Commercial services will begin in April 2027, with nationwide expansion targeted.
