Typical Discussions in the Q&A Session

• Regulatory question: is there any specific lpx;evel of CO2 per amount of product (kWh electricity or kg of protein) produced for the technologies considered to call them sustainable?
• Why did you select 4 technologies among 10 emerging technologies?
• The long-term target cost for DAC (Direct Air Capture) is usually considered about 100 USD per ton of CO2. Is that realistic?
• What’s the raw basic material is mostly used for developing the good catalyst? Is it abundant or rare earth materials?
• In power to proteins concept, why did you focus on protein production? (In Japan, many studies about algae cultivation for biofuel production, e.g. jet-fuel are carried out.)
• You picked up various wastes, as examples of liquid organic wastes. Which waste is easiest to gasify and utilize? And Which one is the hardest to gasify or utilize?
