Environmental Technology

In addition to our ongoing campaigns to reduce energy consumption by shifting to solvent-free processes and energy conservation, the Nitto Group is accelerating development of negative emission technologies that capture CO₂ inevitably emitted during the manufacturing processes.

CO₂ separation membrane

The system contributes to the reduction of GHG emissions and the utilization of CO₂ by separating and recovering CO₂ from factory boilers, etc. In July 2023, we started a demonstration test using boiler exhaust gas from our own factory. Nitto are conducting comprehensive research from material design of gas separation membranes to system demonstration, with the aim of realizing a decarbonized society.

CO₂ conversion to formic acid

Through joint research with overseas academia, we have established unique CO₂ conversion catalyst technology. We start an initiative to produce formic acid from biomass-derived CO₂ for the introduction of negative emission systems in the livestock industry.

Solvent Separation Membrane

Recovering solvent components from solvent effluent from factories contributes to reducing the amount of effluent and refining energy. We are currently conducting in-house demonstrations of this technology.
