Toward solving the social issues of energy, environment, and resource constraints

In October 2020, the Japanese government declared carbon neutrality, which means net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, an extremely ambitious goal that cannot be achieved through extraordinary efforts. To achieve this goal will require discontinuous innovation that is not an extension of the past. We aim to contribute to “carbon neutrality by 2050,” through research and development that will contribute to drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the load on the environment, and securing a stable supply of energy resources. We aim to continuously create innovations.

Research Strategy

We will focus on the following research to solve energy, environment, and resource constraints.

• Development of technologies that will contribute to making renewable energy as the main source of power. Development of hydrogen utilization, energy carriers, CCU,and other technologies that contribute to energy conservation in non-power fields.
• Development of risk assessment and environmental load reduction technologies that are indispensable for realizing a society in which industry and the environment coexist in harmony.
• Development of technologies to produce methane hydrate domestically, which contributes to a stable supply of resources. Development of technologies related to urban mines that enable a stable supply of resources under environmental constraints.
