Positioning of NEDO
In order to contribute to the resolution of social issues, NEDO formulates technology strategies and project plans and, aspart of its project management, establishes project implementation frameworks by combining the capabilities of industry,academia, and government. NEDO also promotes technology development by carrying out, evaluating, and allocating
funding to promising projects to accelerate the practical application of project results.

The IEA says that net-zero targets must quickly turn into real-world action.
To reach our long-term climate goals, governments need to move fast to implement policies that canput global emissions into sustained decline in the coming years.
CCUS/Carbon recycling is one of the solutions to reduce GHG emissions.

CCS is a necessity based on IEA estimation.
In 2050, CCS quantity is assumed as 120 ～ 240 million ton in Japan.
In order to start CCS in 2030, FS will be started in 2023, and FID will be a necessary in 2026.

3.1 CO2 Capture◆NEDO aimed to lower costs and expand scale by developing a massive synthesis method formaterials and conducting a bench-scale test using a moving-bed system since FY2018.
◆Through a pilot-scale test at Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc’s Maizuru Power Plant, which isscheduled to start up in 2023, NEDO aims to put technology for capturing CO₂ with solidsorbents into practical use.

3.2 CO2 Storage

苫小牧CCS設備の外観◆ To demonstrate the viability of a full-chain CCS system, from CO2
capture to injection and storage in Hokkaido.
◆ The demonstration was started from 2012, and CO2 was injected from2016 to 2019.
◆ Environmental surveys and monitoring are on going to comply with
relevant regulations.

3.2 CO2 Storage◆ CO2 was captured from Exhaust gas of Existing Oil Refinery.
◆ CO2 was injected to two reservoirs, Moebetsu formation(1000-1200m), Takionue formation(2400-3000m).
◆ 300,000 tons of CO2 was injected offshore reservoir in Tomakomai, one of large port city in Hokkaido.

3.3 CO2 Transportation◆For the purpose of the safe and efficient transportation of CO₂ emitted from factories andthermal power plants for carbon recycle or CCS, NEDO will develop the integrated
transportation system (CO₂ liquefaction, ship, transportation and tank storage) under
optimal temperature and pressure conditions.
◆1,000 tons of liquified CO₂ vessel will be constructed and verifies above technical aspects.

3.4 CO2 Utilization - Para-xylene Production from CO2 ◆ Potential CO2 reduction will be theoretically 160 mil tons, in case the 49mil ton world paraxylene demand is replaced by this technology.
◆ In this project, the consortium will improve the innovative catalyst for the production ofpara-xylene from CO2, develop a way to mass-produce the catalyst, and finally develop theprocess while studying its feasibility including its overall economics and CO2 reduction
effect in order to pave the way to a demonstration.

Japan’s Green Growth Strategy Action Plans◼ In October 2020, the Government of Japan declared that it aims to achieve carbon neutralityby 2050.
◼ The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in collaboration with other ministries and agencies,
formulated the “Green Growth Strategy through Achieving Carbon Neutrality in 2050”.
◼ This strategy specifies 14 promising fields that are expected to grow and provides action plans
for them from the viewpoints of both industrial and energy policies.
