Tackling Climate Change

A planet-wide crisis - tackling climate change effects - requires a planet-wide solution.

Corporations, individuals, and governments need to come together to address this

pressing concern.

Technology companies can play a significant role in minimizing the effects of climate
change.

World’s technology innovators need to act swiftly as the future of younger generations
is at stake.

Hitachi's Commitment to Climate Change Innovation
As a principal partner of the 2021 United
Nations Climate Change Conference
(COP26), the Hitachi Group recognizes
the need to act and has committed to
collaborating with organizations to help
them become climate change
innovators.
Along with its partners in this global effort,
Hitachi is focussing on three areas:
• Mobility and Transportation
• The Power Grid
• A ‘Basket of Green Solutions’
However, all three identified areas require
wider cooperation to spur greater change.

Mobility & Transportation
This carbon-intensive sector represents one of the greatest opportunities for innovation in
sustainability and is one of the lowest-hanging fruits for tackling change.

 Smart & Sustainable Rail Systems

Shifting public transportation from cars or planes to trains is proving to be a

more efficient and affordable option and the fastest route to decarbonization.
Hitachi Rail offers fully integrated rail solutions across rolling stock, signalling,
operation, service & maintenance, digital technology and turnkey solutions.

Rail emits only 0.06 tons of carbon dioxide

Electric Vehicles

Hitachi’s mobility and transportation

efforts support the massive growth
potential for the electric vehicle (EV)
industry.

Hitachi is collaborating with industry

and government partners to make
EVs more alluring to operators and
is working toward explaining the
benefits of EV operation in terms of
total cost of ownership (TCO).

This includes bringing forth EVs as a

service and creating programs to
ease the transition and make the
idea of, and business case for, an EV
fleet more compelling.

The Power Grid
To meet these rapidly evolving needs of the energy sector, Hitachi is leveraging its
portfolio of power grid products, solutions, software and services to support the
United States' commitment to transitioning to low-carbon energy by 2035.

The Power Grid

Hitachi’s key decarbonization

efforts includes integrating
renewables and transmitting
and distributing clean energy.

To enable this, Hitachi Energy

has developed flexible, secure
high-voltage direct current
(HVDC) transmission systems
that can deliver more power
over greater distances while
reducing losses.

 The Power Grid

Hitachi Energy’s Grid-

eMotion Fleet uses direct
current (DC) technology and
can connect to any type of
power network — removing
the complexities of
integrating AC/DC chargers
into a system.

It brings a 60 percent
reduction2 in space required
for large-scale EV fleet
charging.

A ‘Basket of Green Solutions’ - Decarbonization

 Decarbonised Buildings, Factories,

Cities, and Data Centers
 Hitachi has identified several new
models already emerging, such as
those around energy trading,
recycling and waste management.
 Hitachi big data and analytics
solutions help manufacturers ensure
that their assets are always available
and that they are consuming the
minimal amount of energy needed.

Coming Together for a Cause

To ease the transition for industries and citizens to achieve a green

new world, Hitachi believes that stakeholders and innovators need to
come together.

Since its founding in 1910, Hitachi has supported the development of

society and the improvement of people’s lives. Addressing climate
change is a top priority, and Hitachi is ready to meet this challenge
head-on.
