Realizing a Society with a Rich Water Cycle
Ozone Generator
Ozone is used in advanced water purification and pulp bleaching due to its powerful sterilizing, deodorizing, decolorizing, and oxidizing properties. Mitsubishi Electric’s ozone generators leverage proprietary technology to achieve high efficiency, high concentration, and compact design. Widely utilized in advanced treatment of both drinking and wastewater—as well as in general industrial applications—they contribute to the realization of a rich water environment by improving water quality in Japan and abroad.

Railway Data Analysis Service Utilizing Serendie Digital Platform
Mitsubishi Electric offers a railway data analysis service that leverages its proprietary Serendie digital platform to combine and analyze data such as power consumption of train vehicles, substations, and stations, as well as train operation status. This service contributes to the optimization of energy management by integrating railway assets—including vehicles, substations, and stations—with energy-efficient train operations. Furthermore, by analyzing and utilizing data collected from railway operations and supporting coordination with power systems in surrounding areas, the service helps optimize energy supply across entire railway corridors and contributes to the realization of carbon neutrality.

Environmentally Friendly Greenhouse Gas-Free Switchgears
Switchgears installed in substations serve to reroute transmission paths and protect the grid from overcurrent during accidents. Many conventional switchgears use SF6 gas, which has a global warming potential approximately 24,300 times greater than CO2. In response to growing demands for reduced environmental impact and regulatory restrictions on SF6 gas usage across various countries, Mitsubishi Electric has developed switchgears that do not rely on SF6 and has successfully received its first order. We will continue to expand our lineup of greenhouse gas-free products, contributing to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.

Direct Current (DC) Transmission and Distribution Technologies
Suitable locations for renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar power plants, are often situated far from areas of electricity consumption. As a result, energy losses occur during transmission due to frequency and voltage conversion, as well as transmission distance itself. One approach to reducing these losses and enabling stable, efficient use of electricity is DC transmission and distribution technology. Mitsubishi Electric is deploying high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, along with its Diamond-Smart Medium voltage direct current distribution network system (D-SMiree), which supports local production and consumption of electricity. The Company is also developing DC circuit breakers to protect power grids. Through these DC technologies, Mitsubishi Electric contributes to the broader adoption of renewable energy and the realization of carbon neutrality.

Advancing a Safe, Secure, and Prosperous Society through Leading Global Environmental Observation
Geostationary Meteorological Satellites Himawari-8/Himawari-9 and Greenhouse Gases/Water Cycle Observing SATellite (GOSAT-GW)
The geostationary meteorological satellites Himawari-8 and Himawari-9, equipped with next-generation meteorological observational sensors ahead of other systems worldwide, have significantly enhanced the accuracy of weather forecasting. The data they collect—such as sea surface temperature, phytoplankton concentration, sea ice, and volcanic smoke—also support disaster prevention efforts across countries and regions in Asia and the Pacific.
In addition, the Global Observing SATellite for Greenhouse gases and Water cycle (GOSAT-GW) is equipped with two sensors, one for observing greenhouse gases and another for observing water cycle conditions such as water vapor and precipitation. By improving the estimation accuracy of greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the observation of water vapor at high altitudes, it contributes to many fields such as climate change research, weather forecasting, and fisheries.

Quasi-Zenith Satellite System MICHIBIKI
In the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System MICHIBIKI, one satellite among the four positioning satellites is constantly positioned near the zenith above Japan. This allows positioning signals to be sent to spots where obtaining positioning information was previously difficult. By supplementing GPS signals, it also enables a positioning precision of up to the centimeter-level. By combining positioning data obtained from a high precision positioning terminal and other sources that receive positioning signals from satellites with this service and a high-accuracy 3D map generated from this positioning data, we will help make cities secure, safe, and comfortable for daily life, working in diverse fields including automobiles, railways, agriculture, construction, and civil engineering.
