A five - year project to promote carbon capture and storage ( CCS ) will be carried out by a consortium including Toshiba and the Mizuho Energy & Research Institute . The consortium will construct a large - scale installation to capture carbon dioxide from a thermal power plant and use the results of the project to mobilise CCS in Japan . Toshiba will build a facility capable of capturing more than 500 tons of CO2 every day , about 50 % of the daily emissions from Mikawa Power Plant , while other consortium members will devise an environmental impact assessment method for CCS . The project will run until 2020 .
