Recycling Using Specific Reaction Field
We are advancing the development of subcritical reaction field control technology,
which utilizes subcritical water (made from water only at high temperature and pressure)
to alter the physical properties of waste materials and enable resource utilization.
Electrochemical CO₂ Resource Conversion
We are developing technology to directly produce useful chemical raw materials from CO₂ in a wide concentration range of approximately 400ppm to 15% using surplus electricity derived from renewable energy.
