HVO is already in use in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in the previous test, zeolite with a porous structure was used as the adsorbent. Zeolite readily releases CO\u2082 when heated, enabling the captured CO\u2082 to be desorbed using the exhaust heat generated during driving. The desorbed CO\u2082 is then compressed by an electric compressor and stored in a tank. Mazda has, for the first time, successfully demonstrated this integrated process as a complete system. Over the course of the 24-hour race, a total of 804 grams of CO\u2082 was captured, representing a significant advancement\u2014approximately 9.6 times the previous result of 84 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the storage experiment, the combined effect of CO\u2082 reduction achieved through HVO and the amount of CO\u2082 captured by the system temporarily exceeded the target recovery level assumed for typical use in Mazda production vehicles. The results reflect performance under controlled endurance racing conditions and indicate the potential to contribute to reducing net CO\u2082 emissions in production vehicles, albeit for a limited period. A full lifecycle carbon balance for the system has not yet been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building on these results, Mazda is entering a new phase of development focused on further testing and refining the system in racing cars, which operate under higher loads and more demanding conditions. Specifically, Mazda aims to further evaluate the potential for reducing net CO\u2082 emissions in its racing car at Round 7 of the Super Taikyu Series, scheduled for November this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Mazda will continue to collaborate with a wide range of partners to further refine the technology and equipment, with the aim of improving system efficiency, durability, and potential applicability in typical driving scenarios beyond experimental vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2026 Empowered by BRIDGESTONE &#8211; Round 3: Fuji 24-Hour Race<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: ReifenDirekt.ch from awin.com -->\n\n<a rel=\"sponsored noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?s=2821785&#038;v=10668&#038;q=330585&#038;r=1229872\" target=\"_blank\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cshow.php?s=2821785&#038;v=10668&#038;q=330585&#038;r=1229872\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">\n<\/a>\n\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: ReifenDirekt.ch from awin.com -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mazda, successfully demonstrates CO2\u00a0storage in Super Taikyu Series testing, supporting the potential to reduce net CO2\u00a0emissions The Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) has conducted a demonstration test of its under-development onboard CO\u2082 (carbon dioxide) capture system, \u2018Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture,\u2019 during Round 3* of the Super Taikyu Series 2026, held from June 5 to 7, 2026.
