Program Officer（PO）

Overview

In this area, in order to apply biomanufacturing technologies to a wide range of manufacturing industries such as chemical, textile, food and beverage, which emit 80.9 million tons of CO₂ per year, we aim to increase productivity, diversity, and enhancement of functions and CO₂ fixation capability of chemicals such as various aliphatic and aromatic compounds (materials or raw materials for rubber products, plastics, synthetic fibers, etc.), SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and other next-generation fuels. We will promote research that will lead to the next-generation biomanufacturing system infrastructure using microorganisms/plants. The R&D area also aims to foster human resources with broad perspectives and development capabilities.
