Carbon Neutral Chemistry Lab (Shinya Okazaki)
Machine-translated · View original
A research center taking on decarbonization, from green hydrogen to the capture and conversion of CO2.
AboutAbout the lab
Working toward decarbonization, centered on hydrogen and CO2
The Mitsui Chemicals Carbon Neutral Research Center develops technologies for handling green hydrogen and CO2.
It is divided into divisions for green hydrogen production and utilization, CO2 separation and capture, CO2 conversion and fixation, and advanced analysis and evaluation.
On the center's website, the faculty members of each division are introduced by division.
Key terms
- CO2 separation and capture
- Technology that separates and collects CO2 with high efficiency from sources such as factory exhaust gas.
- DAC
- Direct air capture: efforts to capture CO2 directly from the atmosphere. Also called direct CO2 capture.
- CO2 conversion and fixation
- Conversion technology that treats captured CO2 as a resource to produce chemicals.
ResearchResearch themes
The center conducts research in its divisions for green hydrogen production and utilization, CO2 separation and capture, CO2 conversion and fixation, and advanced analysis and evaluation. The scope of its research covers developing technologies for handling hydrogen and CO2, and evaluating their impact on the transition to a decarbonized energy society.
*Illustrative imageGreen Hydrogen Production and Utilization
The center develops the component technologies for producing and using green hydrogen.
*Illustrative imageCO2 Separation and Capture
The center develops technologies to separate CO2 with high efficiency from sources such as factory exhaust gas. It also works on DAC, which captures CO2 directly from the air.
*Illustrative imageCO2 Conversion and Fixation
The center develops conversion technologies that treat captured CO2 as a resource to produce chemicals.
*Illustrative imageAdvanced Analysis and Evaluation
In addition to advanced chemical analysis, the center evaluates the impact of the research and development themes pursued in each division on the transition to a decarbonized energy society.
