Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) is adding a new model to its compact CO₂ capture system CO₂MPACT™ series. The new additions to the lineup are larger than earlier models, while still following CO₂MPACT™ Full-Module’s mass-produced full-module concept based on the standard design.

In a press statement released at the end of August 2026, Mitsubishi confirmed that the new model offers a capture capacity of up to 450,000 tons per year. Earlier CO₂MPACT™ Full-Module models were capable of capturing up to 70,000 tons of CO₂ per year.

MHI plans to expand its product lineup to address diverse customer requirements. The scaled-up systems likewise follow the standard design concept employed for CO₂MPACT™ Full-Module. At the same time, their design enables these systems to handle a wide range of flue gas sources and CO₂ concentrations. Project conditions such as construction period, cost, and equipment layout, allow project conditions to be defined in advance.

Additionally, since the module ratio has been increased to over 90%, the efficiency of on-site work has been improved and the workload has been reduced, which traditionally accounts for a significant portion of plant construction. As a result, the new model can shorten delivery times by approximately six to twelve months compared with conventional construction methods. The module enables delivery with a trailer on public roads and by train. This will make it possible to meet a broader range of customer needs than ever before.

MHI Group will exhibit at CCUS EXPO, a large-scale carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) exhibition to be held from Wednesday, September 9 to Friday, September 11 at Makuhari Messe, Japan. The company will introduce the concept of the new CO₂MPACT™ lineup and the company’s track record in CO₂ capture technology. On Thursday, September 10, Tatsuto Nagayasu, Head of CCUS, Plants & Infrastructure Systems will give a keynote speech on “Establishment of CCUS Value Chain by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.”

MHI Group says it will continue to pursue business opportunities in areas where it can help address societal challenges, including ensuring safety and security and supporting a stable energy supply, while responding to changes in the external environment. Carbon neutrality initiatives are increasingly transitioning toward pragmatic approaches that reflect concerns over energy security and the need to maintain industrial competitiveness.

The establishment of a CCUS value chain that connects diverse CO₂emission sources with storage and utilization is one of key solutions for realising a carbon-neutral society. Going forward, MHI Group will continue to proactively promote its CCUS business using its proprietary CO₂ capture technologies, contribute as a solutions provider to reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale, and develop further solutions that contribute to environmental protection.
