(Closed) Call for Research Proposals: Commissioned Project for "Research and Development of Bio-integrated Green Chemical Technology" in FY2023

Objectives:

1. Construction of a green chemical manufacturing system that integrates bioprocesses and green chemical processes
   Constructing a carbon negative green chemical manufacturing system throughout the life cycle that can be implemented on unused land without competing with food production and uses CO2 in the atmosphere as a raw material by integrating the bioprocess of (2) and the green chemical process of (3).
2. Construction of bioprocess
   
   • Evaluating and selecting yeasts that are less likely to produce impurities that degrade the CO2 reduction catalyst during alcohol fermentation.
   • Constructing a bioprocess that collects CO2 from the atmosphere with high efficiency using high-yielding plants and produces raw materials for chemicals such as ethanol.
3. Construction of a green chemical process
   Constructing a green chemical process that can selectively synthesize gas, liquid hydrocarbons, etc. by reducing CO2 generated from the bioprocess of (2) with hydrogen.

Deadline for Submission of Proposals:

5:00 p.m., Thursday, September 14, 2023 (Japan Standard Time)
