概要

There is a very close relationship between energy resources consumption and environmental protection, becoming an important issue for developing a sustain- able society. We still heavily rely on fossil energy, and there is concern that emitted greenhouse gases break the harmony of the global environment. Besides, we need a great deal of energy to fix environmental pol- lution that continues to be the shadow of civilization progress due to the energy consumption of fossil fuels. As one of the solutions, we will develop a practical method using ‘enzymes’ derived from environmental microorganisms with high energy utilisation effi- ciency in catabolism. Also, we are remarking on the sustainable methods of food production, which is the energy of life. We are globally working with acade- misms, biotechs and university start-ups to aim for networking of researches toward social implementa- tion of our technologies.
