The conference will cover a variety of hot topics including Carbon Neutrality and CCUS, with a focus on symposia from 14 different divisions. Moreover, attendees can participate in cross-division symposia that transcend specialization, addressing advanced topics such as data-driven research and development, modeling and simulation in developing and designing environmental processes and materials, and new developments in energy storage and conversion devices.
This conference is not just for academics; it is a key gathering for professionals from the chemical industry and related sectors. We encourage everyone to attend and contribute to the knowledge-sharing environment.
Noteworthy Symposiums
Among the highlighted symposiums, there’s a free public symposium focusing on "The Path to Carbon Neutrality by 2050," scheduled for September 19, at INCHEM TOKYO. This symposium will discuss the collaborative evolution required for industries needing support in reducing CO2 emissions, as well as presenting case studies from local industries and communities.
Another critical symposium will be the CCUS committee symposium, titled "Towards Social Implementation: The Role of Process Design," also on September 19, where participants will explore the societal implementations of CCUS technologies.
Women in Engineering Network symposium will take place on September 17, addressing the challenges faced by female engineers in a traditionally male-dominated field and promoting discussions on creating a more inclusive environment.
The conference will also feature several special symposiums diving into various aspects of chemical engineering, such as innovative potential startups in the chemical sector, the realization of the Sapporo Declaration for achieving SDGs, and discussions on the trends and forecasts for inter-disciplinary collaborations.
