Towards carbon-neutral

Our world needs to deliver upon urgent climate change commitments and circular economy. The Energy Transition is key. As society shifts towards sustainable energy and as industries rapidly convert to electrification, one thing is clear: electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system. ​


We consider the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an important initiative for realizing sustainable society. Together with customers and partners, we are playing a key role in accelerating the energy transition. We believe that we can make a significant contribution to the following twelve SDGs, in particular:

​Together, with customers and partners, we are developing digital and energy platforms. We are helping customers to overcome the complexity and capacity challenges required to transition towards a carbon-neutral energy system. 

Analysis by Hitachi Energy’s experts into the evolution of the total world energy system indicates that global electricity consumption will more than double from 20 percent (today) to over 40 percent of total energy demand by 2050. And certain regions of the world will go far beyond this level of electrification. The forecasts all come to the same conclusion: the carbon-neutral world is electric. Four facts stand out…​
