[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries collaborates with Italian company Saipem on licensing CO2 capture technology]

News 2023/5/8: Leading the creation of the CCUS (Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization, and Storage) market through the conclusion of a comprehensive licensing agreement.

◆Collaboration with Saipem on CO2 Capture Technology On April 27, 2023, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Mitsubishi Heavy) announced that it has signed a comprehensive licensing agreement regarding CO2 capture technology with Saipem, a major engineering company based in Italy. This move aims to lead the creation of a global market for carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in pursuit of achieving carbon neutrality. ◆CO2 Capture Technology Co-Developed with Kansai Electric Power The technologies that Mitsubishi Heavy will license to Saipem are the "KM CDR Process(TM)" and "Advanced KM CDR Process(TM)," both of which were co-developed with Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. since 1990. By partnering with Saipem, which has operations in over 70 countries and specializes in the design, procurement, construction, and project management of plants primarily in the oil and gas sector, Mitsubishi Heavy will enhance the promotion of CO2 capture plants in key business areas and regions, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, enabling the handling of numerous projects. By establishing a plant construction execution system that leverages the strengths of both companies, Mitsubishi Heavy will further advance its global CCUS strategy.

<Title> Development of Gene Expression Control Technology through RNA Hacking In the latest presentation paper, we have utilized Abby. Associate Professor Yosuke Katsuta from Kumamoto University Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (also co-founder of StapleBio), will be giving a presentation in an online seminar. He is working on the development of RNA hacking technology aimed at controlling gene expression by utilizing short nucleic acids named Staple to change the higher-order structure of target mRNA. He will present the latest data focusing on the results of cell experiments and animal experiments in the development of this technology.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
