CO2 Emissions Reduced by Switching to Carbon-neutral City Gas at Kawasaki Works
Mitsubishi Kakoki Kaisha (MKK) began using carbon-neutral city gas (under the name CN City Gas), which is supplied by Tokyo Gas at its Kawasaki Works in the Kawasaki Bayshore area, in February 2022. As well as contributing to a reduction in CO2 emissions in the area, this is expected to reduce CO2 emissions from the Kawasaki Works. The company also signed up to the Japan-based Carbon Neutral LNG Buyers Alliance at this time. CN City Gas is also used as a feedstock for the company’s leading product in the hydrogen business, the HyGeia-A series hydrogen generator, one of which has been installed at the Kawasaki Works. This contributes to carbon-neutral hydrogen production by reducing CO2 emissions by more than 95%.
HyGeia-A series hydrogen generator
This plant generates nearly pure hydrogen (99.999% vol.) from 13A city gas or LPG.
Carbon-neutral LNG (CNL) is LNG for which the greenhouse gases emitted in the processes from natural gas exploration to combustion have been offset by carbon credits (carbon offsets) gained from environmental protection projects carried out in emerging countries and elsewhere. As a result, this gas is globally considered to be carbon neutral, even if combusted.
