Mazda has successfully tested its innovative “Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture” technology in competitive motorsport conditions, with a Mazda3 race car equipped with the system taking part in the 7th round of the 2025 Super Taikyu race series at Fuji International Speedway in Oyama, Japan.
Across the four-hour endurance race, Mazda’s new carbon capture device proved its ability to adsorb CO₂ from exhaust gases under the demanding conditions of racing for the first time. Building on this achievement, Mazda plans to continue testing the technology in next year’s Super Taikyu race series, with the aim of further improving CO₂ recovery performance.
A concept model of the carbon capture device was first unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show on 29 October 2025. The prototype “Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture Technology” system uses a zeolite porous structure to adsorb CO₂ from exhaust gases and store it in an onboard tank. Captured CO₂ can then be repurposed to manufacture high-performance carbon materials or to enrich greenhouse air, helping to boost crop growth.
To further reduce overall CO₂ emissions, the Mazda3 race car was powered by HVO 100 carbon-neutral diesel fuel. Alongside the development of electrified vehicles – including mild hybrids, full hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electric models – Mazda continues to enhance the efficiency of internal combustion engines, support the introduction of carbon-neutral fuels and explore innovative ways of capturing CO₂ directly from exhaust gases.
Mazda is committed to achieving global carbon neutrality by 2050 and to meeting the EU’s 2030 and 2035 interim targets through its Multi-Solution Approach. This strategy reflects Mazda’s belief that a wide range of technical solutions is the most effective path to reducing vehicle CO₂ emissions.
At Western & Barnetts Mazda, we are proud to see Mazda pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation, reinforcing the brand’s long-term commitment to delivering cleaner, more efficient mobility for customers.
