Keidanren To achieve a decarbonized society, announced that more than 130 companies and organizations will participate.

Keidanren announced that more than 130 leading Japanese companies and organizations will participate in the "Challenge Zero" initiative to realize a decarbonized society.
At the same time, we will disclose the technologies that each company has to reduce greenhouse gases, and encourage cooperation with other industries and universities.

“Challenge Zero” is a concept that Keidanren has set out to aim for a carbon-free society, and companies will work to develop and popularize technologies that will reduce or substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

As a result of calling for participation in this initiative, more than 130 companies and organizations such as Toyota Motor Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, electric power companies and major banks will participate.

At the same time, a special homepage was opened to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of each company, such as steelmaking technology that does not substantially emit carbon dioxide by utilizing hydrogen and technology that reuses recovered carbon dioxide. Energy saving technology has been released.

Keidanren intends to promote cooperation with other industries and universities through the disclosure of technology, and strengthen its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr. Nakanishi, Chairman of the Keidanren, said at a press conference, "I would like to introduce many cases in which Japanese companies are challenging the innovation of environmental measures and work together as an economic community."
