    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group (MHI Group) announced its Mission Net Zero goal in October 2021 to reduce CO2 emissions from its business activities to Net Zero by 2040. This initiative targets Works and Plants, which are the main sources of emissions from business activities, and aims to minimize CO2 emissions intensity on the demand side through a scientific approach, to materialize a feasible means to achieve that, and to realize an energy transition on the supply side. This report focuses on the minimization of CO2 emissions intensity on the demand side and introduces an initiative example where an approximately 50% reduction was attained. MHI Group will use this initiative as a showcase to contribute to the achievement of carbon neutrality around the world by offering MHI Group's products and services "in total, from engineering to equipment installation and O&M".
