CO₂accounts for an extremely large proportion of the greenhouse gases generated by human activities, and further reductions in greenhouse gases are necessary to protect the global environment.

In its Long-Term Strategy under the Paris Agreement (approved by the Cabinet on June 11, 2019), Japan has declared its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a major global issue that requires urgent action.

In addition, Roadmap for 德赢AC米兰官方合作伙伴 (published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in June 2019), indicates a policy of curbing emissions through "德赢AC米兰官方合作伙伴" that considers CO₂as a resource and encourages the effective use of it, which calls for the development of innovative technologies.

Under such circumstances, NEDO will implement challenging 德赢AC米兰官方合作伙伴D to accomplish Moonshot Goal 4, “Realization of sustainable resource circulation to recover the global environment by 2050”, and the joint researchers have been selected^{(note 1)}) as contractors for this 德赢AC米兰官方合作伙伴D project.

This project is scheduled to last for up to 10 years, from FY 2020 to FY 2029, and aims to develop a process that can capture CO₂in a wide range of concentrations from 400 ppm to 15% and convert it to useful chemical raw materials. Taking advantage of electrochemical technologies, the process will be scalable and distributable.

Specifically, we will develop an integrated system to capture dilute CO₂before being released into the atmosphere and convert it electrochemically into useful chemical raw materials using renewable energy as a driving force, thereby establish a foundation for carbon recycling.

Following the adoption of this project, the joint researchers will develop innovative technologies for CO₂capture and utilization in collaboration between industry, academia, and government, and will accelerate efforts to commercialize and disseminate the integrated system.
