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 with invited lectures, requested lectures, and a panel discussion on energy and environmental innovation and its social implementation in the afternoon on September 10, the day before the 54th Autumn Meeting. In this symposium, we would like to focus our discussion on unused resources, such as waste and biomass, that could support a carbon-neutral society.
Interactive comments on each lecture will be available during the symposium through GOING VIRTUAL. The symposium will be open to the public with free of charge to all participants, and we hope that many of you will join us in discussing the future society that chemical engineering will innovate, and that these activities will contribute to the promotion of interdisciplinary research and academic development of the society.

As a driving force for sustainable economic growth, there is great expectation for startups, particularly deep tech startups that use cutting-edge technology to address deep-seated social issues. The Society of Chemical Engineering is expected to serve as a center of academic talents with deep tech expertise. This symposium is intended to discuss the potential of creating startups and changing society.
