With the aim of transforming society’s use of energy, Panasonic will contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in society as a whole through our new technologies and businesses.

The push for carbon neutrality has brought about a growing need for solar cells that can be used in cities and other areas with limited flat surfaces for installation, as an innovative means to generate more renewable energy. Recognizing this need, the Panasonic Group has developed glass-integrated Perovskite solar cells that can be seamlessly incorporated into building materials, serving as energy-generating glass for walls or windows. This breakthrough enables solar cells to be utilized more flexibly in architectural designs.

Our aim is to promote the widespread adoption of Perovskite solar cells that harmonize with urban environments and lifestyles, contributing to both the reduction of CO₂ emissions and the expansion of renewable energy in society.

In line with our commitment to realizing a sustainable global environment, the Panasonic Group has developed a groundbreaking technology known as Bio CO₂ Transformation. This technology utilizes atmospheric CO₂ to enhance crop yields, making a significant contribution to sustainable food production. In this proprietary technology, photosynthetic microorganisms, believed to be the origin of chloroplasts, use CO₂ as a raw material to synthesize plant growth components through photosynthesis with light and water. By spraying the synthesized plant growth components onto the leaves of crops, we have successfully stimulated plant growth and increased crop yields.

Notably, this technology not only leverages atmospheric CO₂ but also recycles CO₂ during the crop growth process. This dual capability makes it a valuable asset in achieving carbon neutrality and supporting sustainable food production. The Panasonic Group is committed to advancing Bio CO₂ Transformation technology, working towards commercial production and global deployment to further contribute to a sustainable future.
