・ Standard design and module design enable optimized solutions according to the customer's flue gas sources and shorten delivery times
・ Exhibiting at CCUS EXPO, a large-scale Japanese CCUS exhibition, to promote the concept of the new CO2MPACT™ lineup
Tokyo, August 26, 2026 - 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.
While earlier CO2MPACT™ Full-Module models were capable of capturing up to 70,000 tons of CO2 per year, the new model offers a capture capacity of up to 450,000 tons 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 while being designed to handle a wide range of flue gas sources (CO2 concentrations), allow project conditions to be defined in advance such as construction period, cost, and equipment layout.
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, Chiba. 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 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 CO2 emission sources with storage and utilization is one of key solutions for realizing a carbon-neutral society. Going forward, MHI Group will continue to proactively promote its CCUS business utilizing 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.
