Mazda Motor Corporation (MMC 7261.T) today announced that it has begun demonstration experiments of Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture, Mazda’s unique CO2 capture system in a popular endurance racing series in Japan, with a wide range of car models.*
“Mazda aims to realize mobility where ‘driving more leads to CO₂ reduction’ by 2035. Mazda believes that if its vehicles run on carbon-neutral fuel and capture the CO₂ emitted, it will be possible to reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere in proportion to the distance traveled,” the Japanese company said.

In the Super Taikyu Series Round 7# held on November 15 and 16, the ‘Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture’ was installed in the “Mazda Spirit Racing 3 Future Concept (Car No.55),” a race vehicle, for the first time. The vehicle ran on biodiesel fuel (HVO), a carbon-neutral fuel that has been put to practical use in Europe. The device uses zeolite with a porous structure as a CO₂ adsorbent and demonstrated that it can adsorb CO₂ in exhaust gas. #(ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2025 Empowered by Bridgestone Round 7 Super Taikyu Final Grand Thanksgiving Party.)
Mazda will continue demonstration experiments in the Super Taikyu Series next season to increase CO2 recovery rates. “Building on insights gained, Mazda will advance its technology and equipment, contributing to the realization of a sustainable mobility society,” Mazda said.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine. Zino has also worked in Europe, and Asia – now the largest automotive market in the world with China at its center.
