GREETING

To realize a low-carbon society, our group aims to develop advanced catalysts combined with chemical reaction engineering and electrochemistry for extensive utilization of renewable energy and unused energy resources, which would contribute to the carbon dioxide capture and utilization, and hence reduce CO₂ emission and global warming. Currently, we are developing new catalysts and composite materials for many kinds of chemical reaction systems, which can efficient and cost-effective produce energy carriers, fine chemicals and fuels such as ammonia, methane, light hydrocarbons functional organic compounds and biofuels using renewable hydrogen, biomass, waste and recyclable CO₂ as feedstocks. We are also studying on new chemical engineering and reaction system, which can utilize renewable electricity for the purpose as aforementioned.
