Development and Practical Implementation of Green Chemicals
Carbon Recycling Technology Development
We are engaged in the development and practical implementation of technologies and catalysts for producing ethylene glycol and para-xylene from CO₂. This groundbreaking technology enables the production of polyester and PET bottles from CO₂-derived materials and is attracting attention from a wide range of industries.
- Development of CO₂-Derived Ethylene Glycol
Practical implementation of technology for producing ethylene glycol from CO₂ based on SEG® technology.
- Development of CO₂-Derived Para-Xylene
Development as a national project adopted by NEDO (※), in collaboration with industry and academic institutions.
※NEDO: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization
