About
Kanadevia Corporation (formerly Hitachi Zosen, rebranded October 2024) is a large Japanese industrial engineering conglomerate headquartered in Osaka with about 13,000 employees and JPY 610 billion in FY2024 revenue, with core businesses in waste-to-energy plants, machinery, infrastructure, hydrogen systems, and biogas. Through its Swiss subsidiary Kanadevia Inova, it supplies amine-scrubbing carbon capture technology as an EPC contractor for waste-to-energy plants — including the UK’s first full-scale WtE CCS project at the Protos Energy Recovery Facility (notice-to-proceed October 2025, handover mid-2029). Carbon capture is an adjacent offering bolted onto its core WtE business rather than the company’s primary purpose.
