An introduction to the latest technologies by leading experts fighting on the front lines towards a future where renewable energy, green hydrogen, and CO2 are expected to become sources of energy and raw materials for chemicals.

In 2050, Japan's carbon neutrality is expected to rely on renewable energy, green hydrogen produced from renewable energy, and CO2 from the atmosphere as raw materials for energy and chemicals. Oil refining facilities and naphtha crackers will be eliminated. Consequently, petrochemicals will shift from naphtha-derived ethylene centers to new chemical centers based on CO2 and green hydrogen. The development of processes using new catalysts and fermentation methods will be necessary. On the other hand, waste plastics and waste that are polluting the environment are valuable carbon resources. These must be recycled. Catalysts are essential for chemical recycling. This time, we have invited leading experts who are at the forefront of the fight against global warming to introduce the latest technologies. We hope this will be beneficial to many researchers. 【Features of this book】 ➢ In 2050, Japan's carbon neutrality will rely on renewable energy, green hydrogen produced from renewable energy, and atmospheric CO2 as raw materials for energy and chemicals. ➢ Introduction of the latest technologies by leading experts in the fight against global warming.

A clear organization, introduction, and explanation of extensive carbon dioxide reduction technologies and utilization technologies.

In Japan, many potential measures for combating global warming have been discussed in a broad manner until now. However, that time is running out. We must identify specific solution themes that need to be addressed in the next 10 to 20 years, categorizing them by timeline and the magnitude of CO2 reduction, and focus on those themes. 【Features of this book】 ➢ Two-part structure: CO2 reduction technologies and CO2 utilization technologies ➢ Excerpts and revisions from the well-received "CO2 Reduction Measures from the Perspective of Catalysts 2020," with updates and significant additions on CO2 "reduction technologies" and "utilization technologies" ➢ Updates and additions regarding biomass, waste plastics, municipal waste, and fuel cell technologies ➢ Clear organization and introduction of a wide range of CO2 utilization technologies with explanations ➢ Detailed discussion on hydrogen production and utilization, including the green hydrogen strategy

A detailed explanation of the current state of the latest catalytic chemical conversion technologies for methane and carbon dioxide, which are essential for achieving a carbon-neutral society, and the prospects for the path forward.

This book discusses the latest catalytic chemical conversion technologies for methane and carbon dioxide, which are central to the carbon cycle. The section on methane is primarily written by members of the JST "Innovative Catalysts" project, while the section on carbon dioxide introduces strategic initiatives aimed at presenting a new carbon cycle system. Additionally, it summarizes a roundtable discussion that envisions the future direction of technologies for methane and carbon dioxide. We hope this will aid in considering what actions should be taken and what should not be done in order to achieve a carbon-neutral society, as well as in the development of new catalytic technologies. **Features of this book:** - Discusses the latest catalytic chemical conversion technologies for methane and carbon dioxide, which are central to the carbon cycle. - The section on methane is primarily written by members of the JST "Innovative Catalysts" project. - The section on carbon dioxide introduces strategic initiatives aimed at presenting a new carbon cycle system. - Summarizes a roundtable discussion that envisions the future direction of technologies for methane and carbon dioxide. - An essential read for catalyst development, considering what actions should be taken and what should not be done to achieve a carbon-neutral society.

Berry Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroshi Nakano) will hold a free online seminar titled "Evolved with AI! - A Comprehensive Explanation of eQMS 'QMSmart' from Basics to Latest Updates," which will explain the overall picture and latest updates of the cloud-based eQMS "QMSmart" with a live screen demo, on August 21, 2026 (Friday) from 14:00 to 15:00. This seminar is aimed at those considering the introduction of eQMS, as well as quality assurance, design development, and manufacturing personnel at medical device manufacturers who feel limited by paper and Excel-based QMS operations, as well as management. Participants will be able to see the evolved QMSmart in its entirety in one hour, following this summer's major update.

Takaya Corporation will be exhibiting at the "36th Microelectronics Symposium (MES2026)" held at Osaka University Nakanoshima Center from September 16 (Wednesday) to 18 (Friday), 2026. MES2026 is one of Japan's leading technical symposiums in the field of electronics packaging. The symposium will focus on implementation technologies that support the high functionality, miniaturization, and high reliability of electronic devices, featuring the latest research results and technological trends from universities, research institutions, and companies. Additionally, technical exchanges and information sharing will take place through corporate exhibitions. At our booth, we will introduce the features of the Flying Probe Tester "APT Series" and solutions that contribute to quality improvement, as well as offer consultations regarding inspection processes. We invite you to stop by the Takaya booth during your visit.

In this session, we will thoroughly analyze case studies of three major chemical accidents that occurred in the past! When we unravel the root causes of these accidents, we find a common pattern of "lack of safety management systems" rather than just equipment failure or chemical reactions. We will introduce specific solutions to bridge the three gaps of "Visibility," "Control," and "Preparedness," and discuss Chemwatch's efforts to prevent risks before they occur. For any questions, please contact us at japan@chemwatch.net. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

While the business utilization of generative AI (such as ChatGPT) is rapidly advancing, the "security risk of confidential information such as on-site data, proprietary manuals, and customer information being sent to the cloud" has become a significant issue. Until now, the high cost of GPU servers and the necessity of relying on the cloud for model intelligence have been challenges. However, this premise is now undergoing a major change. With the emergence of Google's latest open model, 'Gemma4', we have finally entered an era where it is possible to operate with "intelligence equal to or greater than that of the cloud" at "one-third the hardware cost of traditional setups," and within "a secure, company-exclusive server completely isolated from the internet." We will introduce the latest trends in AI implementation along with our company's latest DX solutions.
