The Future Geothermal
Power
Generation
Is Moving Toward

Humanity has been relying on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas since the Industrial Revolution.
However, coal is estimated to run out in the next 100 years, and oil and natural gas in the next 50 years.
We will not be able to sustain our society unless we secure energy by means other than fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels also emit greenhouse gases, which are the main cause of global warming.
Extreme weather is already occurring around the world and bringing about many problems,
such as rising sea levels and impacts on ecosystems.
Thus, in order to halt global warming as soon as possible, many countries are acting together to
effectively reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to zero and aiming to become carbon neutral.
One way to achieve this is through the use of renewable energy.
Mitsubishi Materials has been contributing to carbon neutrality by working on geothermal,
hydroelectric, and solar power generation. Among these, geothermal power generation--
which we have been working on since the 1960s--is a purely domestic energy source that
can provide a stable supply of electricity regardless of the weather.
We are developing an integrated geothermal power generation business,
rom geothermal resource surveys to plant engineering and operation management.
We hope to use the know-how and technological capabilities we have accumulated
until now to contribute to solving the world's energy issues and global warming.
