Our company will hold a business seminar. In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, ensuring the accuracy and transparency of greenhouse gas emissions is a challenge. Japan's GOSAT series of observation satellites has been monitoring carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases for 16 years, and this data is utilized for estimating emissions on a global and national scale. Soon, data will also be provided through a satellite data platform. The upcoming GOSAT-GW satellite, scheduled for launch, is expected to offer higher resolution and an increase in data volume, aiming to observe and estimate emissions at regional, urban, and point source levels. Currently, we are considering successor satellites for launch in the 2030s based on the space basic plan roadmap, and we are also working to expand the business use of this data. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: January 10, 2025 (Friday) 09:30 - 11:30 ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Speaker: Ministry of the Environment Director of the Climate Change Observation Research Strategy Office, General Affairs Division, Global Environment Bureau Planning Officer for Emission and Absorption Inventory Calculation, Decarbonization Society Transition Promotion Office Shohei Okano *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company will hold a business seminar. What proposals should be developed for library architecture and library systems in 2025? While the number of libraries with e-books, digital libraries, and digital archives has significantly increased, we are still not at a level where the physical space and information space are connected and integrated. Many initiatives claiming to promote library DX are still limited to the use of AI, automation, and self-service, appearing to be an extension of traditional digitization. In this lecture, we will introduce the significance and methods of integrating various digital resources into the physical space of libraries, focusing on the proposals that were actually presented and selected in various proposals in 2024. Many design proposals for libraries are also scheduled for 2025. We will conduct a lecture and Q&A session to prepare for these challenging opportunities.

Our company will hold a business seminar. Kashima Construction, the only major general contractor with a research facility specialized in marine studies, conducts cutting-edge research on the conservation of marine ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds. The ocean, which is said to absorb about 30% of the CO2 emitted on Earth, is also attracting attention for its "blue carbon" storage effects due to the functions of marine ecosystems.

Our company will hold a business seminar. In recent years, research and development of biopharmaceuticals such as antibody drugs, nucleic acid drugs, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine have been promoted, and research results are actively being patented. Additionally, as the practical application of research results is being advanced, the importance of utilizing patents for biopharmaceuticals is also increasing. To promote research and development and practical application of such biopharmaceuticals, it is essential to establish a patent strategy. In other words, it is important to analyze patent trends in biopharmaceuticals and develop an optimal patent strategy for effective utilization of patents. As a result, research outcomes can be maximally leveraged in business activities.

Our company will hold a seminar on "Manufacturing Technologies for Fuels and Chemicals Using CO2 as Raw Material for Carbon Neutrality." With the arrival of the carbon-neutral era, fossil resources will no longer be usable. Biomass poses a risk of environmental destruction, and the amount of usable resources is limited. Ultimately, we will have no choice but to produce fuels and chemicals using CO2 from the atmosphere and hydrogen from renewable energy electrolysis. In Europe and the United States, methane and methanol are already being synthesized from CO2 and H2. The production of chemicals has also begun. We would like to introduce these technologies and provide a detailed explanation of the technologies needed for carbon neutrality. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: November 20, 2024 (Wednesday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minami Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Participation Method: In-person, live streaming, archived streaming ■ Speaker: Takaki Muroi 　　　　ICLab (Industrial Catalysts Laboratory) 　　　　Representative *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company will hold a business seminar. The steel and chemical industries are considered hard-to-abate sectors, making carbon neutrality challenging. This is due to the use of fossil resources such as oil and coal as raw materials in industries like chemicals, as well as the significant energy required in the production process. On the other hand, the materials industry can be seen as one that generates substantial added value, as products are created through relatively long supply chains. Recently, the Society of Chemical Engineers published a position paper on pathways to carbon neutrality for hard-to-abate industries. This seminar will explain the contents of this position paper and outline pathways to achieving carbon neutrality, including reforms to social systems, utilizing the supply chain. [Seminar Details] ■ Date and Time: February 19, 2025 (Wednesday) 16:30 - 18:30 (Doors open at 16:00) ■ Speaker: Professor Masahiko Matsukata, Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering, Waseda University *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
