Oceans pave the way to a decarbonized future: Innovative technology "eDOC" put into practical use

There are only 25 years left until carbon neutrality is achieved by 2050. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has sounded the alarm that to achieve this ambitious goal, approximately 1 billion tons of CO2 will need to be removed from the atmosphere per year. Technologies that have attracted attention so far include direct CO2 capture from the atmosphere, such as Direct Air Capture (DAC), developed by companies such as Swiss company Climeworks. However, CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is only 0.04%, making it difficult to increase capture efficiency. Among these, attention is now turning to the ocean, the source of all life.

The world’s first CO₂-derived paraxylene project featured in sports uniforms worn by national climbing teams
​

In July 2024, The North Face unveiled the world’s first sports uniform incorporating a new CO₂-derived material—commercialized with the aim of realizing a decarbonized society. The uniform will be worn in sporting climbing competitions by national teams from Japan, the United States, Australia, and South Korea. This new technology is an initiative to replace paraxylene—the raw material for polyester, which has traditionally been derived from petroleum—with a CO₂-derived alternative.

Leveraging Networks Built in Japan and China
Tackling the Rapidly Growing Battery Materials Market in India!

In addition to Europe and the US, HighChem is actively expanding into Asian countries, including Southeast Asia other than China. India, where the population continues to grow and the economy is growing rapidly, is no exception. In India, the government is working at a fast pace to transition the automotive industry to EVs (electric vehicles), and has set a goal of increasing EVs to more than 30% of new car sales by 2030. In the midst of this, Indian companies looking for high-quality EV and ESS (storage battery) materials have focused their attention on network HighChem has built up over the years in Japan and China.

Aiming for Decarbonization with Formic Acid
New Catalyst Technology Developed in Japan-China Joint Project

Hydrogen is expected to become the next generation Energy to realize a decarbonized society. HighChem 's catalyst development capabilities and scale-up capabilities are expanding into the field of hydrogen Energy. The company has teamed up with a major Chinese precious metals supplier to participate in a Japan-China joint project by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) and China's Ministry of Science and Technology (equivalent to the former Science and Technology Agency of Japan). The two companies have succeeded in developing a high-performance catalyst to extract hydrogen from formic acid, which is attracting attention as a "hydrogen carrier" that can safely and efficiently store and transport hydrogen, as well as a technology to synthesize formic acid from carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and are currently considering applying for a patent.
