Description:

The emission of CO2, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG), is the leading cause of global
warming. To counter this issue, Japan Science & Technology launched the Advanced Low
Carbon Technology Research and Development Program in 2010, which was aimed
towards the development of technologies that reduce CO2 emission in the atmosphere. Thissymposium will highlight the fundamental and applied research topics in the field ofheterogeneous catalysis for sustainable production of energy and chemicals from renewable
resources with the aim of minimizing CO2 emission.
