Seminars on CCS Value Chain Design: A Deep Dive by Chiyoda Corporation

On July 30, 2026, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host an enlightening seminar featuring Jun Tamagawa, the head of the Process Engineering Department at Chiyoda Corporation. This event will explore the practical aspects of designing a value chain to realize Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Tamagawa, a seasoned expert with nearly 30 years in petrochemical, LNG, and decarbonization fields, will share his extensive experience with various advanced CCS initiatives, including the Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC).

What You Will Learn at the Seminar

Participants can expect to gain crucial insights, including:

• - The key points for optimizing the entire CCS value chain.
• - Practical judgment criteria for building infrastructure, including liquefied CO₂ transportation.
• - Technical strategies for reducing CAPEX and OPEX while addressing CO₂ specifications.

Target Audience

This seminar is designed for individuals involved in various sectors, particularly those engaged in:

• - Business development in the energy and plant sectors.
• - Technology and planning departments in manufacturing companies considering decarbonization or CCUS adoption.
• - Financial or trading sectors participating in infrastructure investments and projects.
• - Business planning in resource and energy fields.

Overview of the Seminar

As the world transitions from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, CCS has emerged as a vital method to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the successful implementation of CCS projects requires a holistic optimization strategy encompassing CO₂ separation, capture, transportation, and storage along the entire value chain.

This seminar, drawing from Chiyoda Corporation’s comprehensive involvement in CCS initiatives, will delve into the latest domestic and international trends related to CCS value chains. Participants will learn about specific technical challenges and outlooks for future developments, including examples of practical applications.
