Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., Denka Empresa Limited, Iwatani Corporation, JFE Steel Corporation, JNC Corporation, KH Neochem Co., Ltd., Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd., UBE Elastomer Co. Ltd., Ube Material Indústrias, Ltd. e Yokogawa Electric Corporation anunciam a assinatura de um memorando de entendimento (MoU) sobre um estudo conjunto de atividades para o estabelecimento de um complexo industrial neutro em carbono no distrito de Goi, na cidade de Ichihara, e no distrito de Soga, na cidade de Chiba, na província japonesa de Chiba (doravante denominado "complexo neutro em carbono de Goi e Soga").
The carbon neutral Goi and Soga complex in 2050
Zoom
Os distritos de Goi e Soga fazem parte do complexo industrial de Keiyo Rinkai em Chiba, uma província adjacente a Tóquio que abriga a maior concentração de empresas de materiais e energia do Japão. A obtenção da neutralidade de carbono nesse complexo industrial aumentará a competitividade geral das empresas que mantêm operações lá e abrirá caminho para uma sociedade sustentável.
Desde fevereiro de 2021, a Yokogawa está realizando um projeto* para examinar a viabilidade de alcançar a neutralidade de carbono por meio da colaboração interindustrial no complexo industrial de Goi. As outras nove empresas que operam no local se juntaram à Yokogawa nesse empreendimento, e a Yokogawa também envolveu suas subsidiárias Yokogawa Solution Service Corporation e KBC Advanced Technologies Limited. Por meio desse estudo, foi estabelecido que a colaboração interindustrial seria mais eficaz do que o trabalho isolado das empresas na redução das emissões de CO2, e que o CO2 recuperado pode ser utilizado de forma eficaz pelas empresas localizadas nesse complexo industrial.
Com base no MoU, o site Yokogawa e essas nove empresas que atuam nos setores de energia, petroquímico, químico, siderúrgico, de materiais e outros estudarão a viabilidade da comercialização de atividades até o ano de 2030 que serão necessárias para tornar o complexo industrial de Goi e Soga neutro em carbono até 2050. Essas atividades são as seguintes:
- Introdução de um sistema de gerenciamento de energia interindustrial para minimizar as emissões de CO2
- A recuperação e a utilização eficaz do CO2 por meio da colaboração interindustrial
- Redução das emissões de CO2 por meio da colaboração interindustrial na utilização de hidrogênio e outros subprodutos gasosos de processos existentes
Por meio dessa cooperação entre empresas que buscam operações sustentáveis e um fornecedor de sistemas de controle avançado e sistemas de gerenciamento de energia para processos industriais, as empresas participantes têm como objetivo alcançar coletivamente a neutralidade de carbono no complexo industrial de Goi e Soga e, assim, diminuir seu impacto ambiental, ao mesmo tempo em que aumentam sua própria competitividade internacional.
