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.
