To achieve the goals of Environmental Vision 2050, Toshiba
Group is promoting initiatives aimed at providing a stable
power supply and mitigating climate change through its
low-carbon energy technologies. We are working to develop
and promote power generation technologies that use a
wide variety of types of renewable energy, including photovoltaic,
hydroelectric, geothermal and wind power. At the
same time, we are also working to improve the efficiency of
thermal power generation technology and to commercialize
carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology,
as well as to develop a new thermal power generation cycle
that will make it easier to capture CO2 as well as nuclear power
generation technology that ensures a higher level of safety.
In the area of power distribution systems, we are striving
to develop various technologies based on our know-how
acquired through many experimental projects. Our goal is
to create smart grids (next-generation power distribution
networks) designed to optimize the balance between energy
supply and demand by making use of renewable energy.
We will further promote the development of smart-grid
technologies in order to realize smart communities, which
involve water, transportation and healthcare infrastructure
