Programme details
The 7th International Conference on Carbon Recycling, to be held for the first time in Osaka, will bring together stakeholders from industry, academia, and government. Participants will confirm the initiatives of each country in connection with technology development/demonstration toward the future social implementation of Carbon Recycling, which is a key to achieving carbon neutrality. The conference will also discuss ways to strengthen international cooperation among countries. On the day of the event, we will also hold a poster session and provide opportunities for networking (limited to in-person participants at the actual venue), so please take advantage of these opportunities for interaction. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Reports
【Reflection】
The International Conference on Carbon Recycling is an international forum aimed at reaffirming the commitment of participating countries to the development and demonstration of carbon recycling technologies, which are recognized as key to achieving carbon neutrality, with a view to their future social implementation, and at strengthening cooperative relationships among countries.
At this seventh conference, panel discussions were held on the following themes: [i] cooperation on carbon recycling to contribute to CO2 reductions across industrial society, [ii] pathways of carbon recycling technologies towards 2030, and [iii] business models for forming the carbon recycling market.
The conference reaffirmed the importance of promoting the development of carbon recycling technologies to create markets through cost reduction and visualization of environmental value, while also emphasizing the need to establish systems for appropriately evaluating such environmental value and to enhance international collaboration in sharing technologies, funding, and expertise. Furthermore, the conference discussed the importance of expanding the production scale, lowering the procurement cost of CO2 as a raw material, and improving efficiency throughout the entire supply chain as specific measures for cost reduction, as well as the essential need to reduce initial investment and operational costs to build sustainable business models, which are crucial for the social implementation of carbon recycling.
As a side event, a networking occasion was held between Japanese university students and international experts to foster the next generation of carbon recycling leaders. A poster exhibition was also organized to showcase Japan’s industry-academia-government initiatives in CCU/carbon recycling technologies to the global audience.
Japan will continue to accelerate efforts to strengthen international cooperation toward the social implementation of carbon recycling, which is essential for achieving carbon neutrality.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
To disseminate carbon recycling technology, METI and NEDO will promote the development and demonstration of new CO2 separation and capture methods that lead to cost reduction. Additionally, we will advance the development of technologies to stably fix CO2 captured from factories and other sources into concrete.
Carbon recycling product is now more expensive compared to conventional product. To create its market, it is essential to make their environmental value visible and establish a system that encourages demand-side preferences for products with high environmental value.
We will develop GHG counting rule for carbon recycling activities under the legal reporting system. Additionally, the Japanese government will actively use carbon recycled products with high environmental value in public procurement.
