Initiatives to Achieve Carbon Neutrality

The Daigas Group aims to become carbon neutral by 2050 through the decarbonization of city gas through innovations such as methanation and the decarbonization of electricity by increasing the share of renewables in its power generation portfolio.
In addition, because initiatives for the steady reduction of CO2 emissions will be essential in the intervening years, we will pursue contributions to society-wide CO2 emission reduction efforts.
As a way of indicating our initiatives for the realization of a carbon neutral society, we announced our Carbon Neutral Vision in 2021.

Road Map to Carbon Neutrality

We aim to achieve our carbon neutrality goal through our ongoing initiatives including methanation R&D and renewable power generation capacity development and other activities as shown in the road map below.

Road Map to Carbon Neutrality
  • * Methanation
    Methanation is a technology that synthesizes methane, the main component of city gas, from hydrogen and CO2.
    Synthetic methane has the advantage of being able to use existing city gas infrastructure and gas appliances without changing them, and it can also be deployed in areas where electrification is difficult.
    Also, by recycling CO2 and combining it with hydrogen derived from renewable energies, it will be able to contribute to the carbon neutralization of city gas in the future.
    In the Green Growth Strategy and Sixth Strategic Energy Plan announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in collaboration with other relevant ministries and agencies, a target of injecting synthetic methane by 1% into existing infrastructure by 2030 was declared.
