The 2nd IERE Webinar—Sustainable Emerging Technologies 2020 November 17, 202

Introduction

The carbon neutral energy transition remains challenging, but we are convinced that technological advances will be part of the solution. In this webinar, we present topical areas that we think will offer non-trivial benefits and impacts on this transition.

Watch the Video on the web for the detailed discussions!

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?
