Carbon Neutral Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A center that studies everything from hydrogen production to CO2 capture and conversion.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring decarbonization technologies built around hydrogen and CO2.
The Mitsui Chemicals Carbon Neutral Research Center is divided into divisions for green hydrogen production and use, CO2 separation and capture, CO2 conversion and fixation, and advanced analysis and evaluation, each conducting its own research.
The hydrogen division works on developing the component technologies for producing and using green hydrogen.
The CO2 divisions develop technologies for separating CO2 from sources such as factory flue gas, as well as conversion technologies that turn the captured CO2 into chemical products.
The center is located on Kyushu University's Ito Campus, and faculty from multiple research institutes and research faculties participate in each division.
Key terms
- DAC
- Direct air capture. Technology that captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere
- Turning CO2 into a resource
- Efforts to use captured CO2 in the production of chemical products
ResearchResearch themes
At this center, each division works on green hydrogen production and use, CO2 separation and capture, conversion of captured CO2, and evaluation of R&D themes. The advanced analysis and evaluation division assesses the impact that each division's themes have on the transition to a decarbonized energy society.
*Illustrative imageGreen Hydrogen Production and Use
This division develops the component technologies for producing and using green hydrogen.
*Illustrative imageCO2 Separation and Capture
The center develops technologies to separate CO2 from sources such as factory flue gas with high efficiency. It also works on direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 from the atmosphere.
*Illustrative imageCO2 Conversion and Fixation
This division develops conversion technologies that turn captured CO2 into a resource for producing chemical products.
*Illustrative imageAdvanced Analysis and Impact Evaluation
In addition to advanced chemical analysis, this division evaluates the impact that the R&D themes pursued in each division have on the transition to a decarbonized energy society.
