onlyRecently, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) has been attracting attention as an important
technology for achieving carbon neutrality. This technology comprises the separation andrecovery of carbon dioxide from mixed gases, as well as the synthesis of hydrocarbons (suchas fuels and plastic raw materials) using the recovered carbon dioxide. Additionally, there is a
growing focus on the material and chemical recycling of plastics derived from carbon dioxide.
In this workshop, we will discuss Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, which enables thedirect capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the chemical conversion of carbon
dioxide, and the material/chemical recycling of plastics. Our discussions will start from thebasic concepts in thermodynamics and extend to the challenges that need to be addressed forindustrial processes and practical applications.
In addition, a panel discussion will be held on “Can CCU and DAC really be effective
technologies for achieving carbon neutrality?” the panelists will discuss the validity of thesetechnologies from a thermodynamic point of view and the current progress of thesetechnologies, and discuss future issues.
