New Initiatives
The Kansai Electric Power Group, as a leading company of zero-carbon energy, is aiming for carbon neutrality throughout the entirety of its business activities including power generation by 2050 in order to combat global warming, while striving to increase energy independence to secure energy supply, with priority given to safety.
In addition, our group will mobilize its resources to support decarbonization not only in the economic activities of our customers, but also across society as a whole.
These efforts will be made through active cooperation with various parties, such as customers, business partners, the government, municipalities and research institutes.
We are promoting efforts to realize a hydrogen society by considering a wide range of aspects, from hydrogen production, transportation (including hydrogen carriers such as ammonia) to supply and use as fuel for power generation.
We were selected to conduct a survey on CO2 capture and transportation solicited by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC), and entered into a contract with them. In this commissioned project, we are examining the technology and costs necessary to build a CCS＊ value chain, with the aim of realizing CCS in Japan as soon as possible.
