Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Green AI, Inc. have concluded a “Solution Utilization Partner Agreement” for Green AI’s energy reduction and CO2 reduction system, “Green AI,” and have agreed to cooperate in improving energy efficiency in the industrial sector, based on the common principle of “economically viable CO2 emission reduction.”
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has steadily achieved results, primarily in energy conservation, by utilizing the MAC curve (marginal cost curve for CO2 emission reduction) in management decision-making to reduce CO2 emissions at its own factories, and by listing and visualizing the cost-effectiveness of each measure. By utilizing its own products and technologies to reduce CO2 emissions at its own factories, it has accumulated practical know-how. Furthermore, through a framework with Shoko Chukin Bank, Ltd., it will contribute to promoting Green Transformation (GX) in Japan by widely disseminating the accumulated know-how to small and medium-sized enterprises that are at the upstream of manufacturing.
Green AI supports small and medium-sized enterprises in addressing major challenges in reducing CO2 emissions, such as “considering measures that are compatible with economic efficiency” and “developing concrete reduction roadmaps,” through its energy reduction and CO2 reduction system, Green AI.

This partnership will enable Green AI to easily create concrete reduction roadmaps demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of CO2 emission reduction measures. By combining Green AI’s proprietary database of approximately 5,700 measures with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ diverse products and technologies, it will be possible to consider a wide range of decarbonization options. The formulated roadmaps can then be implemented using Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ technology and practical know-how. This will further enhance and expand Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ support for decarbonization of small and medium-sized enterprises, which is being promoted in collaboration with Shoko Chukin Bank.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Green AI believe that reducing CO2 emissions while maintaining economic viability is crucial, and that achieving energy conservation through improved energy efficiency is the top priority. They believe that improving energy efficiency will not only address global climate change, but will also contribute to strengthening Japan’s manufacturing base by increasing productivity, strengthening competitiveness through cost reduction, and improving management resilience to geopolitical risks and rising energy costs through reduced use of fossil fuels.
