Announcement of Participation in the DMM Online Exhibition "Sustainable Energy Systems Expo Online"

As efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 accelerate, the introduction of storage batteries can contribute to decarbonization initiatives.

●Currently usable "Renewable Energy + Storage Batteries" By optimally operating renewable energy facilities with the introduction of storage batteries, efforts for decarbonization during normal times become possible. ●Long-term power outage measures with the introduction of storage batteries Balancing BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures and energy conservation. ●Support for formulating power outage measures Through partnership collaboration with NEC Networks & System Integration, comprehensive design proposals for storage batteries + renewable energy facilities are possible. To realize a decarbonized society, renewable energy is essential. However, since power generation output is affected by weather and other factors, it is necessary to store renewable electricity for stable supply of unstable power sources. In this case, large-capacity storage batteries are indispensable. Within the national decarbonization policy, there is a clear stance to support the utilization of a combination of renewable energy and storage batteries, and as the movement towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 accelerates, the introduction of storage batteries can contribute to decarbonization efforts. With the collaboration of industrial storage batteries and solar power generation, it is possible to respond with self-generated power and storage batteries until recovery, even if a power outage lasts for a long time. This leads to "safety and security" in preparation for unexpected power outages, as well as external "credibility and trust."

[Power Outage Measures] A portable small emergency battery that requires no installation / It allows for flexible power supply at necessary locations and for necessary purposes!

"Prepare with a Storage Battery System" In today's world, it is essential to be prepared to continue operations even during emergencies. The emergency small storage battery system 'LB0043PE4' stores and secures the necessary power, supporting the operation of equipment. It is active in the following places: General hospitals (maternity hospitals) / Tenant residential clinics / Tenant-occupied clinics / Community-based clinics / Research facilities / Social welfare facilities and elderly care facilities / Public facilities / BCP measures for general businesses ● Smooth mobility with large casters Equipped with larger casters, it allows for easy movement without strain, enabling flexible and agile responses. ● Can be used like a wall outlet With a high output of 1500W! It can handle inrush current and allows for power usage similar to that of a wall outlet. ● Sturdy, stable, and compact chassis design The chassis is made of 1.2mm thick steel plate, ensuring safety during disasters such as earthquakes. ● No installation required, easy to set up No dedicated manager or installation work is needed; it can be set up and used immediately after delivery. ● Power outage measures for ultra-low temperature freezers for COVID-19 vaccine storage It can connect to and supply power to ultra-low temperature freezers for vaccine storage provided to municipalities nationwide.

[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations. [Lecture Items] 1. Job Hunting Sexual Harassment 2. Customer Harassment 3. Q&A

[Speaker] Mr. Itsuki Wakayama, Project General Manager, Technology Promotion Unit, Low Carbon Solutions Division, INPEX Corporation [Key Lecture Content] The greatest advantage of synthetic methane production through CO2 methanation technology is that it enables decarbonization without significant additions or modifications to all existing natural gas and city gas infrastructure. At INPEX, after two NEDO commissioned projects, we have been conducting the development of practical application technology with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h, one of the largest in the world, as a subsidized project by NEDO since the fiscal year 2021. By the fiscal year 2025, we aim to achieve the injection of synthetic methane produced during the demonstration operation of the test facility. This presentation will provide detailed information on the results of the NEDO project for the fiscal year 2025, including the current status of the latest test facilities. [Presentation Items] 1. INPEX's efforts towards net zero by 2050 2. Policy trends related to CO2 methanation 3. Challenges of CO2 methanation 4. Results of the NEDO practical application technology development project with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h for the fiscal year 2025 5. Future commercialization prospects and challenges 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Satoru Shimizu, President and CEO of Okunote Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Generative AI is not a "magic wand," but a "mirror" that reflects the questions of the user. In this lecture, based on my book "The 'Super' Planning Techniques Practiced by Competition Disruptors: Seven Creative Steps to Lead Winning Strategies with the 'Art of Questioning'," I will explain how to overcome the challenges of proposals being rejected, not moving forward within the company, and not being executed on-site through interactions with AI. I will introduce the entire process of planning, linking it with AI utilization, from question design to hypothesis destruction, structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective, forming internal consensus, managing execution, and turning reflections into assets. In the latter part of the workshop (exclusive to on-site participants), you will actually formulate questions and refine your dialogue with AI, taking home usable "art of questioning" techniques for tomorrow. [Lecture Items] 1. Orientation: AI is a "mirror," not a "magic wand." 2. Enhancing the precision of planning through "question design" and "hypothesis destruction." 3. Structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective to create "acceptable" proposals. 4. Forming consensus that transcends internal barriers. 5. Mechanisms that prevent execution from stopping and turning experiences into assets through reflection. 6. Habitualizing AI as a "partner" and the roles humans will take on in the AI era.
