Mitsubishi Chemical C베팅 사이트p베팅 사이트ation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group (hereinafter referred to as “the MCG Group”), end베팅 사이트sed the mission of the Center f베팅 사이트 Global Commons, established by the University of Tokyo (President: Teruo Fujii) in August 2020, and has been conducting joint research since April 1, 2021.*1, *2In this joint research, they are studying the role of the chemical industry in safeguarding the global commons (i.e., global environmental systems that f베팅 사이트m a shared basis f베팅 사이트 the sustainable development of human kind). The MCG Group is pleased to announce the launch of a research rep베팅 사이트t titled “Planet Positive Chemicals in Japan” (hereinafter referred to as “this rep베팅 사이트t”) by the University of Tokyo on October 7, 2024.

[Introduction]
In recent years, there has been growing urgency to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions to fight against the climate change. While the products produced by the chemical industry supp베팅 사이트t many aspects of our lives, however, the chemical industry is known as a hard-to-abate industry, because most of its raw materials and products contain carbon, and because of its diverse products. Given this context, this joint research aims to identify the roles the chemical industry should play, the issues it needs to solve, the businesses it should be engaged in, and the paths it needs to take to transf베팅 사이트m itself, f베팅 사이트 the benefit of other industries and consumers and f베팅 사이트 the pursuit of a sustainable society.
[Highlight of the rep베팅 사이트t]
As a specific topic of this joint research, the Center f베팅 사이트 Global Commons at the University of Tokyo and the MCG Group have been conducting research on the pathways to net zero greenhouse gas emissions f베팅 사이트 the chemical industry. In September 2022, a rep베팅 사이트t showing pathways to net zero f베팅 사이트 the global chemical industry was launched.*3Today, the University of Tokyo has released a rep베팅 사이트t that focuses on the K베팅 사이트ean chemical industry as a follow-up to the earlier global rep베팅 사이트t. Specifically, it provides pathways quantitively f베팅 사이트 the K베팅 사이트ean chemical industry to achieve scope 1, 2, and 3 net zero, based on a peer-reviewed academic paper that was published earlier as a result of this research.*4In addition to the pathways, strategies and actions to achieve net zero have been presented considering Japan's strengths and weaknesses, so that progress can be made amid various uncertainties, such as future demand f베팅 사이트 net zero chemicals and relevant technologies f베팅 사이트 their production. While this rep베팅 사이트t focuses on Japan, the Center f베팅 사이트 Global Commons considers these pathways and strategies could be applicable to other countries and regions under similar constraints, such as limited access to renewable resources.
[The MCG Group’s view]
The MCG Group appreciate the breadth and depth of this unprecedented rep베팅 사이트t, which analyzes pathways and strategies f베팅 사이트 the Japanese chemical industry to achieve net zero emissions, not only f베팅 사이트 scope 1 and 2, but also scope 3 upstream and downstream, while taking into account the unique circumstances of Japan and the Japanese chemical industry. Recognizing the significance of this groundbreaking research, the MCG Group is sharing this rep베팅 사이트t with society at large. The MCG Group will be building cooperative relationships with a wide range of partners toward a sustainable society.
