Major Achievements
- Books： ”Illustrated Guide to Carbon Recycling (2020.9)” and “Carbon Neutral (2021.9)” (in Japanese) edited by the Institute of Applied Energy and published by Gijutsu-Hyohron Co., Ltd. In addition, there are many other books related to carbon recycling contributed.
- Reports： “Carbonate Fixation of CO2” (in Japanese), Energy and Resources, Vol.43, No.4, pp.65-69. (2022).
- Lectures and Seminars： Several lectures and seminars related to carbon recycling are held annually.
- Research and Analysis： Various research were contracted by METI, NEDO, the Cabinet Office, and so on. For example, Clean coal technology roadmap (NEDO), Energy carrier surveys (METI, NEDO), Survey on extraction of future energy image (Cabinet Office), CO2 effective utilization technology (NEDO), Energy conservation technology strategy (NEDO), Overview survey on biomass utilization (NEDO), et al. In addition, several technical surveys are also undertaken in the fields of CCUS and carbon recycling from the private sector.
