概要
There is a very close relationship between energy resources consumption and environmental protection, becoming essential research issues for developing a sustainable 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 environ- mental pollution 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 utilization efficiency in catabolism. Also, we are remarking on sustainable food production methods, which is the energy of life . We are globally working with academisms, biotechs, and university start-ups to network research toward the social implementation of our technologies.
