Toyota Motor Corporation has set a new goal of accelerating technological innovation in production and achieving carbon neutrality, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero by 2035.
We are significantly ahead of our original goal of 2050.
Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. will meet online on the decarbonization efforts at production sites on the 11th, and will realize carbon neutrality in 2035, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero at its own plants such as car assembly and engine manufacturing. I set out a goal.
Originally we aimed to achieve it in 2050, but we are significantly ahead of schedule.
In addition to increasing the use of hydrogen and renewable energy, it is said that it will be achieved through technological innovation such as reviewing the painting process, which emits a lot of carbon dioxide.
The government has set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero as a whole by 2050, but recently Panasonic has announced plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero by 2030, and it is a major company. There are a series of moves aimed at achieving this early.
Mr. Masamichi Okada, executive officer, said, "Carbon neutral gives us the opportunity to fundamentally review manufacturing, and we will take on various challenges such as technological development that makes full use of ideas."
