    Here is a high level of global interest and social needs regarding decarbonization, and technological development in this field is progressing rapidly. We, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd., have been engaged in the CO2 capture business in response to that trend, and completed the commercialization of our new amine-based solvent KS-21TM and received orders for our commercial compact CO2 capture systems as outcomes from the engagement. We are also considering expansion of various CO2 capture forms such as direct air capture (DAC). We will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by adapting the high-performance CO2 capture technologies we have cultivated so far to meet a wide range of social and market needs, accelerating the development of the technologies, and putting (commercializing) them on the market.
