Toshiba recently launched the world’s first technology that can measure the amount of carbon dioxide and other substances emitted from factories in real time, 150 times faster than existing technology.
The company’s newest product, the “Unsplash”, is the world’s first technology to measure carbon dioxide and other substances in real-time.
The technology can be implemented using only a palm-sized sensor and can measure in as little as 1.7 seconds, compared to about five minutes for each component in the air with existing technology.
In an interview with Japan’s ABEMA Times, Akihiro Kojima, head of Toshiba’s Research and Development Center, said, “In fact, CO2 emissions have not been accurately measured in real-time before, and can only be estimated by rough calculations. With this technology, we will be able to measure the exact amount of CO2 in real time.
Akihiro Kojima also introduced the technology, which can be used to accurately calculate the greenhouse gas emissions reduced by factories and to promote the accelerated development of decarbonization technologies.
Technology companies have been active in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and many tech giants, including Apple, Qualcomm, Intel and Foxconn, have previously announced that they will complete their goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030~2050.
