Innovation and Development of New CO₂-Fixation-Promoting Technology for Increasing Bio-Material Production

Research Project Outline

We aim at developing an epoch-making technology for increasing the production of “carbon-neutral” bio-materials and thereby to achieve a new technology suppressing fossil-derived CO₂, by means of innovatively improving CO₂ assimilation and carbon transportation in plants (which are mainly soybean and Eucalyptus plants). The present level of our technology is estimated to enable 5% suppression of the total amount of annual CO₂ release from Japan (if it is applied to main countries for soybean and Eucalyptus production), and 10% suppression is a target level.
