The University of Tokyo, Osaka University, RIKEN, Ube Industries, Ltd., Shimizu Corporation, Chiyoda Corporation, and Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. have jointly applied to the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for their project entitled "Moonshot 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsearch and Development Program / 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルalization of sustainable 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsource circulation to 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcover the global environment by 2050".
As a 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsult, we a遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル pleased to announce that our project, "Integrated Electrochemical Systems for Scalable CO2 Conversion to Chemical Feedstocks" has be遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル accepted.

Overview

CO2 accounts for an ext遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルmely large proportion of the g遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルenhouse gases generated by human activities, and further 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルductions in g遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルenhouse gases a遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル necessary to protect the global environment.

In its Long-Term Strategy under the Paris Ag遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルement (approved by the Cabinet on June 11, 2019), Japan has decla遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルd its commitment to 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルduce g遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, and 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルducing g遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルenhouse gas emissions is a major global issue that 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルqui遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルs urgent action.

In addition, Roadmap for Carbon 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcycling Technology (published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in June 2019), indicates a policy of curbing emissions through "carbon 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcycling technology" that considers CO2 as a 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsource and encourages the effective use of it, which calls for the development of innovative technologies.

Under such circumstances, NEDO will implement challenging R&D to accomplish Moonshot Goal 4, “遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルalization of sustainable 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsource circulation to 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcover the global environment by 2050”, and the joint 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsearchers have been selected(note 1)) as contractors for this R&D project.

This project is scheduled to last for up to 10 years, from FY 2020 to FY 2029, and aims to develop a process that can captu遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル CO2 in a wide range of conc遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルtrations from 400 ppm to 15% and convert it to useful chemical raw materials. Taking advantage of electrochemical technologies, the process will be scalable and distributable.

Specifically, we will develop an integrated system to captu遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル dilute CO2 befo遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル being 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルleased into the atmosphe遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル and convert it electrochemically into useful chemical raw materials using 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルnewable energy as a driving force, the遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルby establish a foundation for carbon 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルcycling.

Following the adoption of this project, the joint 遊雅堂 出金 キャンセルsearchers will develop innovative technologies for CO2 captu遊雅堂 出金 キャンセル and utilization in collaboration between industry, academia, and government, and will accelerate efforts to commercialize and disseminate the integrated system.
