Toshiba consortium to lead Japan’s largest CCS project

A five-year project to promote carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be carried out by a consortium including Toshiba and the Mizuho Information & Research Institute. The group will construct a large-scale installation to capture carbon emissions from a thermal power plant and use the results of the project to mobilise CCS in Japan. Toshiba will build a facility capable of capturing more than 500 tons of CO2 every day, about 50% of the daily emissions from Mikawa Power Plant, while other consortium members will devise an environmental impact assessment method for CCS. The project will run until 2020.
