Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) has signed a collaboration agreement with Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation (TTL) Jhunan Brewery to begin demonstration tests of carbon capture and utilization.
Under the agreement, CO2 emitted during beer production at TTL Jhunan Brewery will be captured, purified, and reused in the brewery’s own beverage manufacturing processes — an initiative aimed at advancing carbon recycling and supporting industrial decarbonization.
The collaboration builds on an April 2024 agreement between Mitsubishi Electric and ITRI to jointly research sustainability technologies.
Earlier this year, the partners began demonstrations at Mitsubishi Electric’s Advanced Technology R&D Center in Amagasaki, Japan, where an ITRI-developed CO2 capture machine was installed to test capture from gas boiler flue gas.
The new Taiwan-based project represents the next step toward commercial-scale deployment of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) for flue gas emissions in the beverage sector.
