It is necessary to design the future society, envision the necessary processes, and seek the appropriate elemental technologies to achieve carbon neutrality. The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ) is working to develop and deepen specific case studies, technologies, and academic systems by strengthening cooperation with local industries and communities.

Following symposiums held at every annual meeting and fall meeting since March 2020, we will hold a symposium (SP-1) with invited lectures, requested lectures, and a panel discussion on energy and environmental innovation and its social implementation in the afternoon on March 16th, the day before the 91th Annual Meeting. In the afternoon on the 17th, a poster session (P-1) will be held on-site. We look forward to presentations and discussions covering a wide range of topics related to carbon neutrality, including technology development, dissemination and implementation, industrial and social transformation, and evaluation methods. Those who wish to present are kindly requested to submit an abstract for the session (P-1).

The excellent presentations made by SCEJ student members will be awarded.
