Relationship between thermal power generation and industrial gases in achieving a low-carbon society
Uses of industrial gases in CCU, methanation, IGCC, and hydrogen power generation
Around 40% of Japan's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are in the energy transformation sectors, such as power generation. And of the total power generation, 70% uses thermal power. The measures for reducing CO2 emissions from thermal power generation therefore have a huge impact on Japan's ability to achieve a low-carbon society. That creates the necessity to switch to low-carbon power generation systems. Industrial gas functionality and technology have a role to play in the transformation to low-carbon thermal power generation. There are many places where industrial gas handling technology is related, for example, to hydrogen power generation -- a means to reduce the amount of usage of fossil fuels -- and to recovering and reusing CO2 from exhaust gases.
