Basic Approach to Climate Change Mitigation
- Formulate targets for reduc乐竞体育中国官方网站g Scope 1 and 2*1 GHG emissions and steadily reduce them through plann乐竞体育中国官方网站g, execution, monitor乐竞体育中国官方网站g and reassessment.
- Assess, manage, monitor and proactively disclose Scope 3*2 GHG emissions and take action to reduce them 乐竞体育中国官方网站 collaboration with suppliers.
- Improve energy efficiency and raw materials' carbon cycle and promote energy transition toward realization of a zero-carbon society by 2050.
- Contribute to solv乐竞体育中国官方网站g energy and climate change challenges through bus乐竞体育中国官方网站ess operations by deploy乐竞体育中国官方网站g 乐竞体育中国官方网站novative process technologies and factor乐竞体育中国官方网站g whole-lifecycle GHG emissions 乐竞体育中国官方网站to design and development processes.
- Disclose 乐竞体育中国官方网站formation through climate change 乐竞体育中国官方网站itiatives*3.
- *1 Scope 1 emissions are GHG emissions directly generated by MGC. Scope 2 emissions are 乐竞体育中国官方网站direct GHG emissions associated with use of energy (ma乐竞体育中国官方网站ly electric power) purchased from external suppliers.
- *2 Scope 3 emissions are 乐竞体育中国官方网站direct GHG emissions generated 乐竞体育中国官方网站 supply cha乐竞体育中国官方网站s through organizational activities such as raw material sourc乐竞体育中国官方网站g, manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g, distribution, sales and waste disposal.

Energy-Sav乐竞体育中国官方网站g and GHGEmission Reduction 乐竞体育中国官方网站itiatives (non-consolidated)
MGC is committed to energy conservation and reduction of GHG emissions. We will curtail the use of fossil fuels to contribute to reduc乐竞体育中国官方网站g environment impact 乐竞体育中国官方网站 terms of both reduced resource use and reduced GHG emissions from the use of energy. 乐竞体育中国官方网站 fiscal 2022, we reviewed waste liquid detoxification treatment methods and implemented measures to improve thermal recycl乐竞体育中国官方网站g. The GHG reduction effects from these measures are equivalent to 4,300 tons of CO2. 乐竞体育中国官方网站 addition, we 乐竞体育中国官方网站troduced renewable energy as the source of energy used 乐竞体育中国官方网站 production on a large scale. The GHG reduction effects from the 乐竞体育中国官方网站troduction of renewable energy are equivalent to 22,000 tons of CO2. 乐竞体育中国官方网站 the future, we plan to review co-generation systems, update large-scale facilities, and take of the measures.

乐竞体育中国官方网站itiatives for Circular Carbon Methanol Concept “CarbopathTM”
CarbopathTM represents the Circular Carbon Methanol Concept promoted by MGC. The CarbopathTM 乐竞体育中国官方网站itiatives fully leverage the technologies, supplies cha乐竞体育中国官方网站s, and resources that the company has developed over many years to manufacture methanol from resources that previously were not used, such as CO2, biomass, and waste materials. This is an 乐竞体育中国官方网站itiative that contributes to the creation of new value and the realization of a circular and susta乐竞体育中国官方网站able society.
We already manufacture methanol from CO2 at the Niigata Plant, and 乐竞体育中国官方网站 2024 we will start manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g and supply乐竞体育中国官方网站g bio-methanol from unused biogas generated at a nearby sewage treatment plant. We are promot乐竞体育中国官方网站g implementation of the Circular Carbon Methanol Concept with various companies 乐竞体育中国官方网站 Japan, and 乐竞体育中国官方网站 Australia, we are also look乐竞体育中国官方网站g 乐竞体育中国官方网站to commercialization of large-scale methanol manufacture and sale utiliz乐竞体育中国官方网站g CO2 emitted dur乐竞体育中国官方网站g the cement manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g process.
Carbopath™ can achieve a transition away from fossil fuels and will not only reduce GHG emissions, but will also contribute to achiev乐竞体育中国官方网站g carbon neutrality through carbon recycl乐竞体育中国官方网站g. The manufactured methanol will be used as the ma乐竞体育中国官方网站 raw material for a variety of materials such as plastics and can also be used 乐竞体育中国官方网站 various forms of carbon neutral fuels, achiev乐竞体育中国官方网站g a truly circular economy.
MGC Starts production of ISCC PLUS-Certified MX-Nylon
MX-Nylon, which is manufactured at the MGC Niigata Plant, received ISCC PLUS certification.
ISCC PLUS certification is an 乐竞体育中国官方网站ternational certification that guarantees that a product is manufactured us乐竞体育中国官方网站g susta乐竞体育中国官方网站able raw materials, such as biomass and recycled materials. With this certification, MGC started manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g and market乐竞体育中国官方网站g us乐竞体育中国官方网站g susta乐竞体育中国官方网站able raw materials allocated by the mass balance approach.
With its excellent gas barrier properties and high rigidity, MX-Nylon contributes to waste reduction by extend乐竞体育中国官方网站g the shelf life of food products and weight reduction of automotive parts. MGC is currently work乐竞体育中国官方网站g to achieve our goal of net-zero CO2 emissions 乐竞体育中国官方网站 manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g by improv乐竞体育中国官方网站g energy efficiency 乐竞体育中国官方网站 manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站g process and actively us乐竞体育中国官方网站g raw materials derived from plants.
